SHIFT HAPPENS: Using the Arts to Facilitate Learning
The arts take us on an adventure in creative expression from the realm of analytical thinking into the realm of unknown territory and heightened awareness.
Join Val Quintera as she explores with us how working and playing artfully enhances our sense of belonging, levels the playing field, and sparks inquiry, dialog and story telling.
This interactive session will provide novel ways of articulating traditional paradigms through the use of collage, acrostics and simple drawing and discuss how trainers can use or modify these activities.
