This year’s programme titled, “It’s All About Me,” focused on getting the children to do some self-reflecting. The activities ranged from jewelry making using recycled materials to illustrated interviews and self-portraits. Visiting the island for the first time, to assist with the jewelry making projects, was Marina Seevak, who is an educator in children’s art, from Massachusetts. She designed and taught projects during the teacher’s workshop, held July 13 to July 15.
