LeT’S CReATe senior workshop ABOUT Sometimes creativity can be difficult to access, yet it is accessible for everyone. Through scrapbook learning, this workshop provides tools for participants to develop their imagination and hook into their creative mindset. We believe everyone that everyone deserves a voice in society and has a story to tell. Articulating this vocally is not always the best option. What we explore are story-telling methods through a vast array of arts disciplines. Through assessment, group critique and self-identification students will be able to find a language that best suits them. Logical, more mathematical thinkers often find it difficult to access their creativity and so would struggle with subjects such as English, History, Art or Music. The tools taught will encourage an alternative thought process when students go to tackle these subjects. CONTENT Learn Imagination tools Memory

TestimoniAls ‘The idea behind Lets Create is fantastic. My child enjoyed every day and gained a huge amount of confidence from the activities.. Allowing her to share her ideas and concepts for the activities and producing something herself from them was very different from many other camps she has done. She made it clear she can’t wait to go again. I personally was blown away with the fun showcase at the end of the week and thoroughly recommend this camp.’ Let’s Create Parent *
