Creative Force

"Creative Force" looks at key issues around young people and violence - verbal violence, bullying, peer pressure, sexist and racist violence, physical or non-physical violence, domestic violence. Using an arts-based approach, it explores the questions like "Why do people use violence?", "In what ways are people violent?", "Is violence always wrong?" and "Can you solve violence with violence?" "Creative Force" includes 26 detailed session plans, using drama, creative writing, poetry and photography activities as tools to explore issues of violence and conflict. Case studies and lists of useful resources, publications and contacts are also included. "Creative Force" was developed out of the "Young People and Violence" project, which trained youth workers to run arts projects on violence and conflict. The project is a collaboration between "Save the Children" and UK Youth.
