Creative Café

The Creative Café is an innovative, structured creative programme designed for learners at the Turas Centre, a pilot alternative education programme for young people aged 12–15 whose placement in mainstream education has ended.

Developed in collaboration with Red Door Studio, the Creative Café will provide a café-style creative environment where learners can engage in fun, hands-on exercises to build skills. Unlike a traditional café, this setting will have a structured format, encouraging learners to step out of their comfort zones by making creative choices, reflecting on them, and exploring new approaches.

Programme Details:

Duration: Fortnightly, September – December 2025

Session Length: 2 hours per session

Format:  Learners choose from varied creative exercises from a creative menu each session and are encouraged to move through the menu to explore new techniques. Learners then reflect on those experiences and choices at the end of each session. 

The Creative Café aims to foster creativity, confidence, and social connection, providing Turas Centre learners with an engaging and empowering experience that supports their personal growth and educational journey.

Please note that the details of events listed above are provided by the relevant Local Authorities.
