START art classes for special needs children are an opportunity to make new friends, develop fine motor skills and enjoy creative learning. Guided by trained artists, START classes are 90 minutes of, hands-on art making including painting, printing and sculpture. In the Middle East there are still many painful misunderstandings about young people with Downs Syndrome and Autism. Projects like START are important in nurturing talents and giving special needs children a community voice through their art. Public exhibitions are also a part of the class structure as they
highlight & reward the achievements of the students. 20 Art Workshops are delivered per year to young people with special educational needs. 15 Students gain confidence in new skills & happiness in their achievements. 2 Public exhibitions are displayed per year, with local community support.
