Creative Facilitator

Mar 2019 - Present • 7 yrs 4 mos

Founded company Cactus Octopus to provide creative facilitation services to promote community cohesion and develop creative learning in non-traditional education spaces, especially aimed at those who are from underrepresented groups. An example would be running a paper flower making workshop in Great Yarmouth to create a flower tunnel to represent the Portugese community (inspired by the Madeira Flower Festival (Festa da Flor) in Funchal, Portugal). I have also applied for funding above £500 for multiple workshops for Cactus Octopus and for others.
