I have been reading al lot about some of the experiences we dyslexics go through in a non dyslexic society. I also listened a lot of negative stories from dyslexics who participated in Unique Dyslexic Get Creative. For some who attended our creative workshops it was the first time they had knowingly sat in a room with other dyslexics. For some it was the first time they had actually spoken to others about their dyslexic experiences.
Some of the feedback reflected this:
- I had fun and enjoyed meeting people like myself
- Happy and not alone with my dyslexia
- Good about myself and happy to meet people like me
Many dyslexic are also creative people so idea behind Unique Dyslexic was to run the creative workshops to attract dyslexics along to them to share stories, offer support to other dyslexic and to break through the isolation barrier.
The objective of Unique Dyslexic Get Creative is to support, promote and celebrate the creative talents of the dyslexic community across the full range of creative spectrum. At Unique Dyslexic Get Creative, we promote and support the social model of dyslexia. We see dyslexia as a difference that reflects the diversity inherent in humanity.
Viva la difference
Creativity is about expressing ourselves. It is about trying new things and new ways of being. Creativity involves being imaginative and original.
It is sometimes thought that only certain people are 'creative', and that to be creative you need to have an unusual talent. However, this is not the case - each one of us is capable of expressing ourselves creatively in some area.
It is also often thought that creativity is limited to the 'arts' - for example, music, drama, art, craft, dance, writing, etc. But these artistic areas are not the only ways we can express creativity - and you certainly don't have to be good at art to be creative.
Creativity is a way of thinking and being which can be expressed in many areas of life, for example, science, business, maths and cooking. We can all be creative in our own way.
Together we are not alone so come along to Unique Dyslexic social media get involved , see what we can do and share what you can do and most importantly have fun
