We deliver informative and entertaining workshops for up to 30 pupils, inspiring young people to improve their mental health through creative outlets

The events of the last two years have pushed mental health even further into the spotlight. It is more important than ever before for young people (and teachers!) to have strategies up their sleeves to improve mental wellbeing.

Through live performance, open discussion and pupil participation, Retune’s wellbeing workshops demonstrate the importance of using creative outlets such as music, art, drama, dance and writing to maintain wellbeing and build emotional resilience. Retune teaches young people how to unlock their imaginations, inspiring them to pursue their passions and achieve mental harmony in the process. Sometimes we all feel out of tune, and small adjustments can take us back to where we need to be.

What The Pupils Said They Learned:

“You can draw your feelings”

“Not all emotions are shown on the outside”
“Music is powerful and can bring joy to the world”
“Songs don’t have to be perfect. You can sing your heart out”

and we can express it in many ways”
