Phase II

Phase II: Interactive Workshops

Our creativity programs are flexible and designed to be presented as two-hour sessions, half-day workshops, or longer, more in-depth courses. These programs are designed for classrooms, auditorium presentations, after-school programs, or weekend workshops. We employ multiple approaches depending on the school, timing, and availability of students. Any of our programs can be offered over a semester or as a summer course. We start with creativity as the main theme and implement individual and group exercises to engage the students to think creatively. The programs are visual and interactive and offer exercises for students to think, engage, and create.

Example: A child shows a talent for writing. We assign a tutor/mentor for six to eight weeks to help the student craft his/her ideas into a compelling narrative, structure the storyline, develop characters, and properly complete a short story (12-15 or 20-30 pages). Next the work is edited professionally and returned to the student to either adopt or dismiss the suggestions (learning the entire time). Then the work is submitted and published on websites, online forums, and other outlets. One hundred copies are professionally printed with a dynamic front cover for the student to keep and distribute to friends and family. If the work is good enough, it may be entered in Phase III, where the student has the potential to win either first, second, or third prize (awards and scholarship money). This type of professional learning and engagement will develop children’s natural abilities and impact them for a lifetime.
