IMN has developed a resource to support community workers lead creative activities for children, young people and families underpinned by opportunities to engage with low-stakes literacy. The resource can be explored in different ways and can be used to develop a weekly block of activities (e.g. 8 sessions) culminating in an exhibition, or to support individual one-off taster activities.
