Our method
ConnectArt’s method is unique and uses a combination of artistic and educational activities to improve the mental health of children and young people.
Konstnärligt utvecklar vi en Trilogi, tre verk som kommer handla om tre olika perspektiv på vår psykiska hälsa, nämligen vår relation till våra tankar, känslor och kropp.
I skolorna presenterar vi en av våra konstnärliga filmer för att inspirera barnen, sedan leder vi en gruppdiskussion där barnen kan uttrycka sina perspektiv på föreställningen som direkt leder till en lekfull workshop som lyfter barnens skapande och reflektioner.

Art
The artistic part inspires children and young people and increases their opportunities to influence their own mental health. Elin has a vision of three works, three themes that relate to each other. The idea came to Elin after undergoing a period of burnout followed by intense inner work to heal and develop. Elin wants to share the knowledge, the tools and insights that the whole process has taught her so that the children can prevent their mental problems before they turn into mental illness. Culture is an effective way to reach the children, therefore Trilogin invests in three different art forms, such as circus, dance and theatre. The first work is ready, the circus performance Monster, now as a film.
It’s about a child struggling with his worries and low self-esteem. During the performance, the child becomes more and more aware of his thoughts and feelings and becomes friends with them.

Pedagogics
We have worked together with schools in Gothenburg and the Västra Götaland region for several years with Cirkus Unik. We then mainly worked in vulnerable areas and also with children with functional variations and know the challenges.
We have experienced how children and teachers feel bad at school and understand that there is a great need for projects like this that highlight the theme of mental health and that reduce stigma.
We have developed methods to measure results, such as the Value Wheel, which became a large part of our inclusive method to see all the children in the group and stimulate commitment, participation and development in the groups.
