Explore and create: Exploratory Creation lab 
Preregistration Required
Participants will learn 5 new advocacy projects as well as a number of new skills such as making social media graphics, photo editing, creating templates, editing video, designing a website portfolio using Adobe Express. All of the projects will be showcased in a web portfolio which we build together during the workshop which will become a resource for educators to use when using it in their own schools. They will also create and share the projects using social media at the end of the workshop.
This is a hands-on workshop so attendees will be participating and sharing their work throughout using online tools there will also be peer to peer interaction in the creative brainstorming and creation process.
