This three-days creative workshop will focus on different aspects of identity and how these different elements have changed and expanded as you have grown. It is open to adopted teenagers aged 16 – 18 years.
The years between 16-18 can be an exciting time; you are getting older, you are becoming more independent, and you might be developing your own style and trying new things. It can also be a challenging time; it might not always be clear what’s expected of you. You might be dealing with peer pressure, or trying to fit in as you figure out just who you are.
This series of workshops aims to provide a safe space for older adopted teens to come together and chat about identity as you transition into adulthood. We’ll consider who and what might influence your own sense of identity and look at how adoption might play a part in this. Within the workshop you will have the opportunity to meet other teens, participate in creative activities and partake in interesting conversations.
Facilitators: Adriana Soriano and Caoimhe O’Sullivan
