Education and Participation

Education is an integral part of Green Candle's work, both within the formal education sector (schools, colleges, adult education) and the larger community (after school clubs, older people's day centres and residential homes). It is education in its widest sense from pre-school to retirement, as well as including more specific projects, for example developing and supporting the National Curriculum or working on falls prevention exercises with patients in rehabilitation wards.

The impetus and emphasis of all this work is based on the creative, giving every participant the opportunity to explore and experiment with his/her own creativity and the support and technical skills to accomplish this.

The company provides residencies, workshops and INSET training. . Green Candle has a strong relationship with day care centres and hospitals in Tower Hamlets and the surrounding boroughs. The company's work with older people is currently expanding with an emphasis being placed on providing a form of creative release, social interaction and gentle physical exercise to older people. Its work with older people includes Green Candle Senior Dancers and its activities with children include Green Candle Youth Dance Company.

Green Candle is available for one off or long term projects with young and older people. If you require more specific information, please feel free to;
