Teacher Training Program Director/Arts Therapist

Apr 2019 - Jul 2019
Implemented an expressive arts-based teacher training programme, which integrates a holistic, therapeutic use of expressive arts for class teachers at Zhongshan Academy, OCEG. The training programme did not aim to make teachers into arts specialists, but to enrich their understandings on how arts can be used as a powerful tool for effective teaching, better teacher-student communication and students’ active engagement in learning.
