You must log in to view sessions Creativity Synchronous-Zoom Workshop (80 mins)

The pandemic has challenged our patience, balance, and motivation. This workshop is composed of various activities and simple techniques to help us be more resiliant and inspiring when we speak to a class or a group. Social communication skills, drama, and improvisation together with creative writing and free mental association will be important aspects of a workshop that aims to include everybody. The key part will be dedicated to art therapy and collage applied to ELT for children and adults.

Higher Education Training for Teachers HETT
I am a free professional European English Teacher and Teacher Trainer and an international collage artist and writer. I have a Degree in Humanities, an Internship in the European Parliament Library, TESOL, and many other specific certificates I have worked online since 2013 with students of all ages and nationalities. I studied with Nick Billbourgh, Peter Dyer, and followed Zsofia JakabI and Audrey Wessels. I started a specific research on children's play and creative work with analog collage and art journal applied to ELT in 2020. Rethinking and daring with creativity is, in my opinion, one of the crucial points in the evolution of English teaching and one of the focus of my interests and studies I have been teaching online to migrant, refugees and displaced people in Italy and abroad and I am currently volunteering in The Workshop, Belgrade. Volunteering is a way to feel more complete as a woman, a professional and as a teacher
