In this dynamic and interactive workshop, students will explore their creativity and respond to stories and ideas from the Joy Exhibition. Through a series of guided prompts digitally led by Jazz Money, students will be inspired to produce a creative piece of writing.
This will include individual writing exercises and collaborative activities, as well as a visit to the second-floor Joy exhibition.
Students will develop key skills in the Victorian Curriculum, including English, Literacy, and Intercultural Capability.
