the i:d project

The I:D Project brought artists and young people together to explore  identity, sense of place, and encourage curiosity with the aim of improving wellbeing.

 

We worked with students from Teesdale School & Sixth Form and with young people from TCR Hub and UTASS.
​
Activity included visual art and spoken word workshops with artist Lizzie Lovejoy, visits to Grassholme Observatory and a pop-up camera obscura residency with photographer Elaine Vizor

390 young people from Teesdale took part

71% agreed "this activity has given me space to explore my own ideas"

68% agreed "using creative writing/photography/drawing has helped me to express my ideas"

A booklet was created containing artwork and poems by young people providing a tool for future work
