FEBRUARY 2020
Earlier this year, the world’s first Tourettes superhero landed in the Art Gallery for a series of interactive, inclusive and incredible superhero-themed activities.
AN OVERVIEW
12 community volunteers
1 social story
50 children attended the workshop
The Call-Out
The call for young superheros went out...
“Touretteshero needs you! Bring your ideas, excitement and energy to celebrate difference and save the world from excessive dullness. Join us for a relaxed, free, accessible, multi-sensory experience for disabled and non-disabled children (and their grown up sidekicks).”
The Result
Just over 50 children from Scarborough came and surrounding areas came along and discovered their powers, created their own superhero identity, and used their imaginations to change the world.
Touretteshero and her team were on hand to help the young heroes transform through masks, costume, moves and photography.
