The Purpose of MMAP Workshops
...is to guide students towards the heart of a creative landscape that encourages our cohorts to engage in creative and critical thinking, underlined with a sensitivity and consideration of others. We also deliver lessons that help to unlock creativity, encourage innovation and boost self esteem.
Our holistic approach to teaching/learning permeates various themes and forms a strong foundation from which one can confidently address societal issues including: Hate Crime, Poverty, Serious Youth Violence, Road Safety Awareness and Mental Health. Students are often asked to plan long and short term goals with the MMAP tutors (and facilitators) as part of interactive creative writing workshops, with a strong focus on Poetry, Performing Arts & Spoken Word.
Achievements are celebrated and commended as part of a reward based module that nurtures strengths and identifies weaknesses.

Our practitioners draw on lived experience to relate with children and young People that are often considered hard to reach. It's important to us that we reach as many people as possible, whether it's in schools, youth clubs and pupil referral units. Our message is one of empowerment, encouragement and motivation, with a focus on resilience, self-awareness and emotional intelligence. All of these are protective factors that have been proven to reduce risky behaviour. As a team, we make every effort to lift the fallen, restore the broken and discourage the discouraged.

Quinton often draws on lived experience to help establish credence and build trust with learners in order to progress a good working relationship based on mutual respect and values.
As part of his workshops Quinton demonstrates that creative writing, poetry and the arts can be used as a means to express feelings, process new information, decompress and channel positive and negative energies.
"Music is universal and is an ideal way to articulate observations from an individual or group perspective."
The MMAP Workshop team actively encourages young people AND adults to create 'Mind MMAPS', expand on prompts and share Freewrites to help communicate thoughts, feelings, worries, concerns and opinions to a wider audience.
The objective of MMAP Workshops is to educate, empower and to provide our learners with a 'Road MMAP ' to success by providing them with a safe space to flourish, build confidence and explore new territories.
