Less Talking and Royal Museums Greenwich have partnered to produce 'The Optimism Sessions'.
This is a creative wellbeing programme for those aged 18-24 from a global majority background, to gather each week and freely express themselves through art, play and reflection. Participants will be encouraged to rethink the world they live in, exploring how they can affect it positively.
With guidance from artist, poet, and creative practitioner Joel Sydenham, participants will explore objects from the Royal Museums Greenwich collection to inspire and connect with them.
At the end of the 12-week programme, Less Talking and Royal Museums Greenwich will produce a magazine featuring contributions from the sessions, which will be publicly available.
