Buitenplaats Brienenoord is looking for participants for a new project: No Show! We are starting a new project to work with adolescents who are in a phase of self-discovery and who can use guidance and inspiration in this journey. We also know that there are groups of oppressed and bullied teenagers, either by the adults or their peers in their social environments, for who they are becoming. So, we aim the No Show to be an artistic research and exploration group where teens from different backgrounds can freely discover their creative ideas and passions and work on collective projects through peer collaboration.
We plan that each session will be of a mini-residency, where teens get to read, learn, discuss about and create about varied themes and topics. Throughout these meetings, we want to focus on themes related to connection, solidarity, support, and experimentation to give space for stronger peer relationships, discovering ways of communicating and relating with people, and to be inspired by people.
On the 21st of December, Saturday, we will host the first meet and greet of this project with a tasty lunch. In this meeting, we will talk about the needs of the adolescent groups and what we should focus on. In a pilot meeting manner, some of the activities we planned will be practiced to receive the feedback of teenagers participating in.
If you are a social worker and you think your focus group could benefit from this project, please contact us! Are you an adolescent yourself who wants to participate? You are more than welcome!
