Program Themes
Welcome to Wizard School!
Imagine turning your entire school into a magical academy for a week!
Drawing on our diverse creative backgrounds, we will inspire students through a host of crafts, writing activities, and improvisational games to create their own unique wizard school.
Welcome to Wizard School! will include a multidisciplinary project for every grade in your school to boost creativity for all. Crafts might include wands, monster books, magical jewels, pixie jars, and potion brewing. Writing programs will explore the magic of imagination with stories, spell scripting and magical recipes. Theatrical games and improv activities will bring out your students’ creativity in new ways. The scope of this program can be adapted depending on the needs of educators and the number of sessions with students.
This program can include deliverables such as an anthology of selected student writing (in the form of spell book or story collection), or a capstone event like the Magic Market, where students from across the school are invited to share their wizardly wares. This workshop series is designed to connect with the province’s curricular core competencies around communication, creation, and storytelling.
Better World Laboratory
Welcome to the Better World Laboratory, where big dreaming is encouraged! It’s a bubbling hub of innovation and creativity that will ignite students’ imaginations through thought-provoking and socially-conscious activities involving the arts, storytelling, and performance. In our multi-day curriculum, we invite students to become world-builders, Chief Ecology Officers, and caretakers of the future, helping them to envision a more beautiful, compassionate, and sustainable future.
Activities will include a multidisciplinary project for every grade in your school and may include prototyping new inventions, imagining new flowers and plants, mapping your school’s neighbourhood to find new connections, and building found-object art. We’ll make the Good News-paper and broadcasts, write stories that examine and challenge stereotypes and bring theme-based storybooks to life. The scope of this program can be adapted depending on the needs of educators and the number of sessions with students.
This program can include deliverables such as an anthology of selected student writing, or a capstone event where students from across the school are invited to share their new inventions and build a school Peace Tree. Better World Laboratory is a school-sized narrative in which each student sees a path towards reshaping their future and feeling part of something big and positive.
This workshop series is designed to connect with the province’s curricular core competencies around science, environmentalism, communication, creation, and global issues.
