ACTIVE IMAGINATION
Active Imagination is a projective technique in which participants work
pro-actively with metaphor to externalise and amplify themes and issues.
Once internal images and ideas are personified ‘outside’ of
us, it becomes easier to explore new outcomes, possibilities and solutions.
Case examples:

 |
Young people in care create images
of different drugs to explore young people’s relationship to
substance misuse and to develop drugs information as support. |
|
| Commercial |
|
 |
Staff from a media company explore
the complexities of their teenage audience in workshops by bringing
‘nostalgic’ objects which represent their own ‘teenage-dom’
and giving these objects a ‘voice’. |

Primary school classes explore the
history of flags and identity through a drama and music workshop bringing
