WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOOL GROUPS K- 12

 

In 2009 atyp introduces an awesome new range of primary workshops to bring fun, learning and confidence to the kids in the primary school classroom. For secondary students we continue to offer distinctive workshops which target curriculum needs and encourage a wider passion and understanding of the way the industry operates.

 

Aimed at offering more substantial content to your students, atyp’s workshop series allows exploration of more comprehensive content and caters to students of all levels of experience. The devising series, for example, is a three workshop series which offers a rigorous approach to devising over three sessions. The three workshops can be done alone, together in one day or over a longer time frame- say one each term.  Workshop series allow atyp to offer richer content in their workshops. Series also allow teachers greater flexibility in planning to compliment their own teaching programs.
