Online Classroom 2022
Home Ground is running an online Creativity and Wellbeing Programme in 2022!
Making our programmes accessible online means Home Ground can keep running our programme in the tough times - when it's hard to be together, like a lockdown situation, or you are not feeling well enough to get to our community space.
PLUS this means that if you are released from Arohata Prison to other towns and cities you can still stay connected with us in our online classroom!
Our intention is that participants from all over New Zealand can connect online in real time to arts and wellbeing workshops. This also allows people to access resources and workshops created by Home Ground, participate in an online community and share their creative achievements.
Extra bonus news! Our dedicated artist who will run the online classroom is Anna Wooles. She has joined Home Ground for this new challenge, and is a crafty ninja who can make everything out of nothing!
What do I do in a Home Ground Workshop?
You can join us online through Google Classroom (Anna can help you figure out the tech stuff) during the day to work with different artists, learn about yourself and your creative process, and develop your strengths.

Online Classroom 2021
The Ministry for Culture and Heritage Mānatu Taonga granted funding to Home Ground to create a brand new Home Ground online classroom.
The online classroom is not only a great tool for Home Ground to engage new participants
nationwide and therefore grow our reach and impact, but it is also a tool of resilience and
adaptability to our practice during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Should Home Ground crew members, participants, or collaborating artists be required to isolate at home or become unwell, the online classroom ensures Home Ground has the flexibility and resources to respond and support them to remain connected and in the Home Ground space, virtually.
Our intention was that participants from all over New Zealand could connect online in real time to arts and wellbeing workshops. This also allows participants to access resources and workshops created and uploaded by Home Ground, participate in a healthy online community and upload and share their creative achievements.
In October 2021, the online classroom was trialed for the first time, run alongside Project Toru. Project Toru was an in-person, or ‘live’ community project based in Lower Hutt, Wellington. Both the online and the live Project Toru ran full time, with arts and wellbeing workshops running all day Tuesday - Friday for 3 weeks. Workshops included sculpting air dry clay, creative writing, poetry, drawing, tā moko design and storytelling, as well as wellbeing techniques and resources.
