Introduction to Educational Creative Tools
PROJECT: A collaboration between the Irish Hospice Foundation and Down Syndrome Tipperary, this series of eight videos presents creative tools designed to help support children and young adults with Down Syndrome in navigating grief and loss. Led by Drama and Movement Therapist Ellie Bailey, the tools are built around finding ways of expression beyond words or traditional talking therapies, recognising that people with Down Syndrome can often face particular challenges in expressing themselves verbally and channeling emotions.
CLIENT: Irish Hospice Foundation / Creative Ireland / Down Syndrome Tipperary
What they needed
The Irish Hospice Foundation and Down Syndrome Tipperary needed a filmmaker who could present these eight creative tools clearly and sensitively, producing a series that would be genuinely useful for families, carers and professionals supporting young people through grief and loss.
What we did
We produced all eight videos in the series, working with Ellie Bailey to present each creative tool in a way that is warm, accessible and easy to follow. A quiet and important project, and one we were glad to be part of.
