Wheelworks Outspoken Manifesto - Jodi sessions
At WheelWorks Arts, young people lead the way. We create spaces where everyone can get involved, try something new, share ideas and have fun. From animation and filmmaking to games, stories, digital music or drama, it's all about exploring what interests you and creating something brilliant together.
Workshop Planning Notes
Each session must include activities that are physical, collaborative, and involve a challenge element.
Physical: Hands-on, practical, or movement-based.
Collaborative: Encourages teamwork and shared decision-making.
Challenge: Includes a goal, problem, or light competitive aspect.
Each session should include an Icebreaker, Warm-Up, and Main Activity, with each stage building on what has been learned previously.
Activities should be age-appropriate, inclusive, and designed so that:
Everyone is actively involved - no one should be left without a role.
Activities can be expanded or adapted if some participants finish early.
Icebreaker Session:
First Session – “Ice breaker” session should feature large scale, high-energy creative activities that don't feel like traditional art. These playful, hands-on experiences are design to break the ice, spark curiosity and build trust among participants.
During these sessions you should listen, observe and ask questions to discover what excites the group, what they care about and what they hope to create together.
The icebreaker session isn’t confided to the ice breaker, warm-up and main activity workshop structure but should still feature activities that are, collaborative, physical and competitive.
