WORKSHOPS
Workshops help build skill sets related to The Shuk Curriculum. Participants are engaged through discussion, group singing, and performance. Participation is encouraged and fundamental to the workshops.
Age Groups: The Shuk has worked with participants of all ages. From the youngest to the oldest of generations, The Shuk takes into consideration the maturity and knowledge. Programs can be scaled to meet the needs of nursery school aged children, elementary, middle, high school, and university students, as well other learning communities.
Here’s a selection of hands on workshops that include song sheets as well. Participants’ input is critical to understanding and enjoying each of these wonderful offerings. We can include up to 100 participants per workshop.
