TOP TIPS FOR FACILITATING CREATIVE ACTIVITY AND<br />

TAKING PART<br />

If running a group session, factor in social, or relationshipbuilding<br />

time. We suggest starting with a warm up to better get<br />

to know each other. Our suggestion is to invite participants to<br />

finish the sentence ‘<strong>Creativity</strong> Is…’ and then share responses<br />

with one another. Are there any similarities or differences in<br />

participants' answers?<br />

Let participants know what to expect from the session -<br />

including timings and breaks (make sure you stick to them!). If<br />

you are running your session online - let people know which<br />

programme you’ll be using.<br />

Value everyone’s contribution. Let all voices be heard and<br />

encourage everyone to participate.<br />

People feel vulnerable being creative because they don’t want<br />

to look silly or be judged. Create an atmosphere in which<br />

people feel they can trust, take a risk and have a go without<br />

making a fool of themselves. By modeling the activity (and not<br />

being perfect) you give others permission to take a risk and<br />

not worry about ‘getting it right’.<br />

We all have different skills, abilities and challenges. Keep<br />

open-minded about people’s comfort levels around reading,<br />

writing and drawing, or whatever the creative prompt invites<br />

you to do. Allow people to respond to the creative prompt in<br />

their own way.<br />

Encourage feedback and reflection. If running a group session<br />

we always recommend leading a check out to end the session. You<br />

could lead an informal conversation asking participants how the<br />

experience was for them? Or ask ‘What feeling or action will<br />

you take away from the activity today?’<br />
