Who Am I? A Creative Exploration

Course Description

We invite you to join us in a deep dive into identity: Learn how to think creatively about yourself and the world around you. What makes me me? What is creativity? Come and explore themes of inclusion and identity through a variety of mediums and creative activities (e.g. visual arts, drama, dance, storytelling, digital media, etc.). Culminating in a RE-imagined selfie on the last day. Zero artistic skills required!

Jackie McGrath, 15 years of teaching experience in Toronto and Ottawa, M.Ed. student. I use creativity in my teaching practice even though I’m not artistic! I love dogs and hot dogs! I aim to co-facilitate with Emily Wolstenholme. Our goal is to help students learn about themselves and how creativity can be cathartic and a tool for critical reflection.
