For this month’s edition, we are looking and listening a little differently! We’ve teamed up with Made Up collective and F*Choir to bring you a collection of activities and prompts to help you see, feel, and imagine your spaces in a new way. There are activities to get you thinking about how you feel in certain spaces, and prompts to get you singing and making noise wherever you are.
Expect games, fun fonts, sounds and songs, dances and all-round creative fun!
