Our mission
Creative Together's mission is to unite communities through art, music, and philosophy, fostering family and team bonds. We create unique opportunities for quality time, supporting schools with innovative ideas. Our goals include promoting reflective education, multicultural integration, positive mental health, and improved communication in Ireland's diverse society. We actively advocate for well-being, healthy lifestyles, and respect through various arts. We believe in the importance of integrating arts into every individual's life, recognizing the need for play and creativity in both children and adults.
Since early childhood Lukasz has always been a creative person with his hands on everything he could try from music, crafts, painting, drawing, recording music, photo and video editing, carving spoons and writing books - you name it!
​
After studying all aspects of human nature for the last 20 years he has discovered that the main patterns and scripts of our lives begin in the early years when we develop our personality. The way we were treated when we were children and the opportunities that arise during this time, create our personality for our whole life. With this knowledge and the natural gift to form good relationships with people, he decided to work with kids, teenagers and adults to help develop their natural creative talents and abilities and to create unique opportunities for them to learn in this rapidly changing world.
He loves working with teenagers, adults, teachers and parents to build stronger bonds within the families and communities they belong to and is also deeply concerned with the positive mental health and well-being of all generations.
When working with children all the rules and national guidelines for good practice are followed, always thinking of children first.
Note: All Garda vetting protocols are followed strictly by all members of the Creative Together team.
