The project will see Urban Voice workers creatively design, develop and deliver a performing arts project for 100 pupils, 30 in Year 6 at St. James Primary School & 70 in Year 7 at Shire Oak Science College.
The project is part of the TAMHS (Targeted Mental Health in Schools) programme of work in Walsall. The aim of this project nationally is to transform the way that mental health support is delivered to children aged 5-13, to improve their mental wellbeing and tackle problems more quickly.
The project will also incorporate the New Economics Five Ways to Wellbeing themes as well as building on the work of the National Healthy Schools Programme and Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning Programme (SEAL) in Walsall Schools.
The pupils will work over a series of one-day workshops to develop a performance that will take place in early December. Following this, the project will enter a consultation and design stage as we work with pupils to develop a creative resource promoting the five ways to wellbeing and exploring the theme of transition.
We'll be posting more information about the project as it develops! If you'd like to find out more about Urban Voice Limited and the work we do - please contact us by emailing enquiries@urbanvoice.co.uk or telephone (01902) 307000.
