About
Artizen is home to Fi Burke’s work as an independent freelance Creative Learning facilitator. Fi works with young people and adults of all ages and abilities in learning settings, organisations, the creative industries and the community.
As a creative practitioner, I use the vehicles of film, photography, visual art and Action Learning Sets to facilitate creative learning experiences. There is an emphasis on creative process. I do this by adopting more of a mentoring approach to facilitate safe environments where problem solving, risk taking, creative thinking and team building can take place to enable independent learning. - Fi Burke
