Strike a Pose!๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿ’œ

How does Purple Patch help you express yourself?

As part of our feedback weeks, we have been creating catwalks, wearing clothing and moving in ways that make us feel good. We took to the runway and then answered the question: โ€œHow does Purple Patch help you express yourself?โ€ ๐Ÿ’œ

We canโ€™t wait to share what we have learnt from our evaluation with you!

When have you felt listened to at Purple Patch Arts? ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’ญ

We have been exploring this in our Lifelong Learning Programmes by creating our own patchworks, answering this question and bringing them together in the space.๐Ÿ‘‚

At Purple Patch Arts we listen to our participants and shape our work around their wants and needs. ๐Ÿ’œ

Traditional evaluation and feedback methods like questionnaires can exclude learning-disabled people from sharing their views. โš ๏ธ

We use our unique Purple Patch Approach to bring feedback and evaluation to life, ensuring our participants can engage in meaningful ways. ๐ŸŽจ

Over the next 2 weeks in our Lifelong Learning Programmes, we will be gathering feedback from our participants, by Connecting to... Our Opinions! ๐Ÿ’ญ

We are having the best time Connecting toโ€ฆ The Great Outdoors! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’œ

We have been exploring the gardens at our Lifelong Learning Programme venues, going on mindful walks using our five senses, taking part in treasure hunts and even jumping on accessible trampolines. ๐ŸŒผโœจ

We are loving Connecting toโ€ฆ The Great Outdoors! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’œ

In Bradford we created a Purple Patch mocktail using ingredients grown in England. We matched each ingredient to a question about the day, such as โ€œWhat have you achieved?โ€ and โ€œWhat do you want more of?โ€, then mixed together a delicious mocktail while sharing our answers. ๐Ÿ“โœจ

During Connecting toโ€ฆ The Great Outdoors in our Lifelong Learning Programmes, we have been learning about allotments. ๐ŸŒฟ

Allotments are small plots of land that people can rent to grow plants, vegetables or flowers. ๐ŸŒผ

We shared our own memories and experiences of growing plants, imagined what we would grow if we had an allotment, and created our own mini allotments using coloured pebbles, foil, herbs, petals, soil and sticks. ๐Ÿ’œ
