Wildfire, rights of passage using creativity for girls and women
In 1999 I created and developed a voluntary group 'Wildfire'. With the help of a local social worker, arts therapist, teacher, youth worker, local artists and many others we explored rights of passage using creativity for young girls and women in Cardiff. Courses asked ' what is creativity for you ' and 'what is success for you'?. Weekly get togethers involved the girls creating and doing a series of 'creative adventures' . These enquiries and adventures enabled us to open the door for the youth of the time to expand their horizons. The results were surprising and unique to each group.
