Inspiring Stories: Recovery and Wellbeing Through the Arts

By | May 3, 2017

On Thursday 11th May, 2 to 3.30 pm, at the Paintworks, there will be a chance to hear about the work of The Drive Project.

This arts / theatre company set up their first Recovery Project in 2011, bringing wounded service personnel into the world of theatre. The Two Worlds of Charlie F was the result, a play based on the stories of serving wounded soldiers and performed by them. Participants found the process to be life changing; those involved spoke of how it had helped them reconnect with similar others, increased their sense of self-worth, and in some cases improved family relationships.

This seminar brings together three wounded veterans and The Drive Project’s founder, Alice Driver. She and the veterans will discuss their personal experiences of the impact the projects have had on those involved.

This is an interactive, dynamic session with audience discussions and a Q and A.
