Shine!

In response to requests from a local ISSP team, TiPP developed an arts based programme specifically for young women. Shine is a holistic female only programme looking at issues around self esteem and positive body image.

Shine uses a wide range of art forms including drama, poetry, dance and visual art and provides a protected space for young women and staff to come together and explore topics relevant to them. The project can can build to a performance or presentation if that is appropriate for the group, or conclude with a more private celebration event.

Young women take part in arts activities, creating work to keep and display. They also learn skills such as hand massage, and participate in healthy living tasks such as buying and preparing food.

Shine is easily adaptable for work in secure settings.
