Create & Connect provides a variety of arts-based experiences that help students develop their self-awareness, recognize their strengths, and cultivate a sense of autonomy and agency over their holistic well-being. Each 90 minute event is led by two facilitators and designed to help students de-stress while engaging with others and the arts to support their social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual wellbeing.
