A sunny week, in every sense. Weekly recap below!

🎭 Positive Education Course: Participants from Turkey πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡·, Poland πŸ‡΅πŸ‡±, Romania πŸ‡·πŸ‡΄, and Germany πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ this week, I really enjoyed sharing how embodied methodologies like drama are such a powerful way to explore emotions and open up those conversations about social emotional wellbeing.

🎭 Chat with a fellow creative: Had a wonderful conversation with Jose Corpas, who I originally met during an International Association of Facilitators (IAF) meetup, about his new project Pausa Persona. PS, Martin Allison and I will be hosting a free IAF España meetup next Tuesday afternoon. Facilitators, see you there? Link in comments.

🎭 Coliving Hub Webinar: Hosted an inspirational webinar with Coliving Hub where Javi Boquete spoke about his experience with coliving as a tool to curb local population. Always interesting to follow projects that connect community, place, and practical action.

🎭 New project confirmed: Had a great chat with Jessica Breitenfeld (finally!) and excited to share a new project is in the works! Always fun to collaborate with other creative facilitators who know the value of drama in learning and connection. Save the date: June 11.
