These accessible and supportive sessions will help participants learn new techniques that can benefit your ability to connect with others in personal and professional settings through verbal and non- verbal communication including body movement, speech and singing along with mixed creative skills including creative writing and sculpting.

Creativity has an impact on our everyday communication, and these workshops will help participants to collaborate, to share experiences, and to enhance communications skills to improve confidence in all settings.
