Program areas at Pure Creative Arts

In 2022 Pure developed and launched a new campaign called the "Talk About It" Tour. This tour impacted over 12,000 students in 2022. The feedback from the students proves that the impact of the tour has been life-changing. This stripped down version of Pure's core work following the changes post-pandemic provided an opportunity to reach more schools in an affordable way and brought the opportunity to tour schools. The Talk About It Tour launched in schools in May 2022, kicking off in NYC, and gave our team room to work with students as partners with local grassroots organizations on the ground in New York, the UK, and Alabama to ensure those students are followed up. The Talk About it Tour is designed to help young people realize that they can open up and talk about what they are struggling with, and has had a great impact. Alongside different music artists, including Blessing Offor (Capitol Records, Coke Advert & The Voice) our CEO Tamsin Evans would share her story, encouraging students to open up and realize they can talk and that they have a voice. Alongside this Pure Creative Arts documented the journey of students during this time and utilized this content, so the students themselves could impact others with their message of change through social media.
Continuously improve our mentoring curriculums that offer students a chance to discover firsthand that their life is worth living. These programs have been developed with educators, psychologists and medical doctors to address mental health issues and core social-emotional learning competencies. We benefit from the local knowledge of partners who are deeply embedded in each community they serve. Our approach allows for long-term relationships between students and mentors.
Pure Creative Arts social worker and Psychotherapist was involved in running training days in Alabama to equip and resource mentors from 10 citywide youth initiatives across Montgomery and give them tools to follow up with the students following the tour. This included our Mentoring Curriculum "Courageous."
