About See, Hear, Feel
See, Hear, Feel invites you to explore, question, and reimagine the spaces around you. This resource includes an object and a series of prompt cards, allowing you to create an activity that fits your preferred length of time. The prompts focus on three actions – seeing, hearing, and feeling – with the object as a grounding tool.
See, Hear, Feel works well in cultural settings, classrooms, or outdoor spaces, offering young people a sensory way to engage with their surroundings and respond creatively.
