People with Diverse Abilities / Special Needs / NDIS Participants

Social Impact Program

In June and July 2019, Mosaik developed its first Social Impact Program in partnership with Brunswick Neighbourhood House. This program enriched the lives of adults with an intellectual disability through the provision of our creative and cultural workshops that were delivered in a welcoming, supportive and safe community setting.

It was a very special program where all participants had the opportunity to connect with their emotions and discover a different way to engage with others.

Through our authentic cultural experiences Mosaik is combatting social isolation and loneliness. Our cultural experiences have significant potential to reduce those feelings. We create opportunities to bring people together and connect with others in a cultural and artistic setting.

OUR WORKSHOPS

invite participants to connect with their minds, bodies, senses, and emotions by using the power of music, singing, dancing, laughing, poetry, and storytelling as well as theatre, arts & crafts, and mindfulness-based art therapy.

Our workshops offer spaces to:

  • Relax
  • Enjoy
  • Break routines
  • Live new experiences.

They are offered as either single stand alone or regular sessions as part of a program. They run for approximately 45 minutes for a group of between 10 and 15 adults or 30-40 minutes for children or youths with special needs. Each group has the support of one facilitator per group. A larger group will have more than one facilitator.

WELLBEING & CONNECTION PROGRAMS
"Mosaik Be Inclusive Program"

Mosaik programs are based on the science of positive psychological well-being, social and emotional research and highly experiential cultural and creative activities. Our programs provide an environment to create dynamic, joyful and playful engagement. Mosaik can run weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly programs including one or more of our cultural elements as well as creative and cultural activities that invite participants to connect with themselves and others. They are delivered in person or virtually. We are happy to come to where you are located!

OUR PROGRAMS MOTIVATE PARTICIPANTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS TO:
  • Improve self-awareness and social skills.
  • Enhance feelings of being included in society.
  • Regulate moods and energy levels.
  • Increase motivation.
  • Manage challenging behaviour.
  • Bring joy and fun

As an outcome of a program, we can prepare participants to perform at special events and community activities; for example, choir, choreographies, visual exhibitions, and theatre performances, amongst others.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to share new artistic skills, be social, and get out interacting with new people and communities in a fun, supportive and safe environment.

Our programs are perfect for staff, team building activities and carers too.
