New Workshop Format
As always, we at Recess are looking for new ways to foster creativity and empowerment in our community, and this year we are trying a new facilitation format with our class selections.
Rather than hire instructors for specific submitted classes this year, we have gathered a team of instructors to select and collaborate on creating a cohesive and inspiring class lineup. There is a facilitator of the group (to make sure that the right questions are asked and everyone in the group has a shared voice), but otherwise the in-community instructors teaching the classes decide on what is taught, how it is taught, and how payment is divided..
