About our project...

For the last few weeks of Term 4 and the first 5 weeks in Term 5, we will be working on a collaborative project with a group of adults and the staff at Beulah Resource Base. Each Wednesday for the first 4 weeks of June we will be producing work in workshops at BRB and The BRIT School , then we will spend the remainder of the week in school working on the material created and gathered to produce work for the final event. There will be a Celebration day in week 5 (Wednesday 6thJuly) at BRB where we will share our outcomes.

A SENSE OF ME: Aim of project: To create sensory installations at BRB exploring memories and/or ambitions of the adults. Between workshops students will be developing the animations and other material towards the sensory installations.

Visiting Beulah

Waiting in the lobby my mind was filled with scenarios and I was slightly anxious to meet the members of Beulah. I believe my doubts and anxiety stemmed from uncertainty and never working with or for adults with learning difficulties. Entering Beulah resource base I was immediately welcomed and overwhelmed by how friendly and confident the adults were with new people. Interacting with many of the adults wasn't difficult as they had many stories and things to share, however some were quite challenging to hold a conversation with as some didn't enjoy communication or preferred to use different ways of communication for example drawing. I love the different characters and how unique and individual the adults are, also how they are treated as individuals. Leaving Beulah my initial thoughts have seriously changed. I'm extremely excited about working alongside Beulah as the adults are amazing. I believe this experience will provide me with knowledge and a greater understanding of people with learning difficulties.
