Today one young person, who has been struggling with their collaboration with a team member, told them 'I feel like you're the game and I just need you to tell me your coding'. What a genius analogy

My most recent project with Creatives Now has been a crash course on Verbatim theatre, where the young people have interviewed small business owners/shoppers in the shopping centre. A really inspiring and smart bunch!
