LEIS was 16-month project based in Belfast that involved exploring non-text methods with adult literacy practitioners and learners. As well as zipper sculpturing, there were drama activities, gamelan playing, popular theatre, and much more. Read about it and use the resources from the manual we created: http://www.qub.ac.uk/leis/
I worked with HIPPY Canada (Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters) developing an adult literacy component in their family literacy program. We used zipper sculpturing while training the trainers.We produced a handbook ' Literacy Plus: A Practitioners' Guide to Adding Adult Literacy Activities to Family Service Programs' available from HIPPY Canada in Vancouver, Canada http://www.hippycanada.ca
About Me
- Bonnie Soroke
- Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
- I am an educator, researcher and artist. I have worked in the fields of Early Childhood Education, English as a Second Language, Adult Literacy, and Family Literacy. I use art and art-making as a tool in my work and play. I use art for making meaning, for communication, and as a means to create and maintain balance within my life. I want to help remove the mystique of art and the art-making process so that art as an experience is accessible to more people in education.
