Creative Café

 

In my previous post, I mentioned that as a middle school language arts teacher, I would host "Coffee Shop," a poetry-sharing event in my classroom. Over time, I switched to calling this time Creative Café and developed a framework for hosting workshops. 

At the heart of Creative Café is the belief that creativity is a gift from God. We believe that every person has been gifted with creativity. It isn't reserved for artists and musicians, makers and engineers!

Creative Café is a workshop-style gathering designed to cultivate creativity and foster authentic community. The goal of Creative Café is to lay a feast of beautiful ideas—stories, music, poetry, and art—for young people to explore and reflect on.

Our Creative Café workshops are designed using a 6-step framework and a creative menu that is simple and flexible for use in the traditional classroom, co-ops, or at home with your family!
