OUR WORKSHOPS

CREATIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES WITH PURPOSE

Our workshops are grouped into four focus areas — Discover, Experiment, Make, and Reimagine — based on their skills and focus, to help you find the right fit.

Many workshops don’t fit neatly into just one area. It’s worth exploring them all.

We deliver regular workshops to libraries, local and state government departments, community organisations, and schools throughout the Perth Metro area and beyond. Our experienced facilitators have backgrounds in teaching, community development, and libraries. This gives them a deep understanding of how to deliver programs that genuinely engage communities, support organisational outcomes, and adhere to organisational health and safety guidelines.

Learning through making, with a focus on history and how everyday skills shape culture.

Participants work with historical tools and materials, experiencing what people did and how it reflected their lives, interests, and perspectives.

Sessions are practical and highly interactive with a focus on asking questions, making connections, and considering how these ideas relate to our own lives.
