Knowing Me: A Creative Journey to Self-Discovery

We invite you on an amazing journey filled with self discovery and creative expression. In this course you will explore your personal identity, connect with your cultural roots, and understand your unique place within the wider community. Through engaging projects and powerful reflection, you'll unlock new insights about yourself and express your journey in exciting, creative ways! No artistic experience needed! While general art supplies are helpful, all projects are designed to be accessible and adaptable to any medium you prefer. For ease of use, we suggest colored pencils for specific activities, but feel free to use what inspires you most. Our online forums are a safe and supportive space to share your creations and celebrate the diverse expressions of your peers.
