WORKSHOP IN SCHOOLS SERIESWhat

The series consist of storytelling, performing and visual arts workshops and classes programmed directly into schools and community centres in areas where many members of the Aboriginal community reside.

Each session is designed to emphasize interaction, participation, dialogue and education in a lively, creative environment. The bottom line is fun!

Why

We offer this program to students in order to preserve the language, culture and art forms of the First Nations people, to encourage creativity, to build self-esteem and to share! The stories and art practices of First Nations culture have enormous depth, they are rich with teachings, and they are as relevant today as they were in the past.

Where

We conduct workshops in your classroom, school gymnasium or in your local community centre! You choose what works best for you!

Who

All workshops and classes are facilitated by leading professional artists who have worked nationally and internationally.

How Much

All workshops are offered at a suggested donation of $150. No school will be turned away due to � nancial restrictions.
