Six Pillars
Six Pillars was an arts and wellbeing programme, commissioned by the Healthy North East Derbyshire Partnership and the Bolsover Partnership with funding from Derbyshire County Council. The Project was led by Junction Arts in partnership with Direct Education Business Partnership.
Junction Arts, in collaboration with Direct Education Business Partnership CIO, aimed to deliver regular creative sessions to support the emotional well-being of young people aged 11 to 18 years (up to age 25 years for young people with Special Education Needs and. Disabilities, SEND). To build resilience, raise aspirations, and recognise the attributes of young people.
Through a programme in 6 locations, young people were to be supported to build skills and confidence and become the six pillars of their own positive self-esteem and healthy futures.
The programme included opportunities for recognition, showcase, and celebration, through a variety of ways, including holding exhibits, creating online galleries, or ensuring attendance and inclusion within festivals.
Recognising that not everyone can undertake visits external to school time, and schools can lack capacity for trips, Junction Arts created the ‘Six Pillars Online Gallery’; providing young people with a place to share their achievements and celebrate what they had done.
In total, 196 individuals were supported across the programme, 121 sessions were delivered with 1,231 participations. For more detailed results, see our Six Pillars case study here.
