FYI+
Workshops for Teachers
Introducing Feed Your Imagination PLUS (FYI+) – a new and exciting initiative that brings teachers,
artists and creative professionals together to explore how the performing arts can be a beneficial
teaching tool in the classroom.
Conceived around the belief that theatre can stimulate creativity and develop confidence in self expression among students, FYI+ aims to introduce different aspects of the performing arts to teachers through performances, workshops and discussions. Through these activities, teachers will pick up useful techniques which they can use in their lessons to enhance pedagogy. It is our hope that as more teachers are exposed to the performing arts, they can impart its benefits to their students.
For this year, three workshops within FYI+ has been introduced to enable every teacher to play an instrumental role in
developing the creative process of students through the arts.
Come join us in these inspiring hands-on workshops, learn new skills, meet with other teachers and find out more about how you can add value to your school curriculum and /or lessons!
