explore diversity & inclusion through immersive storytelling and art
create and become a character in a story - the decisions you make shape the direction the story will take
explore your own beliefs and the perspectives of others using mindfulness and coaching techniques
CHANGEMAKER is a unique experience that can be used for good relations/EDI training, for teambuilding or for personal development.
Guided by a Wheelworks artist/coach, you will raise your awareness of differences in perception, and gain practical skills you can use in your own workplace or the wider community.
CHANGEMAKER encourages self-reflection and opens discussion of sensitive topics. It focuses on opening minds and encouraging the practical application of positive practices.

ChangeMaker is the first step towards increasing awareness, improving communication, and inspiring authentic behavioural change.
