Christmas Cards Making Workshop. at Limassol Cyprus



 




A group of adult learners has gathered to enjoy each other’s company, sing Christmas cards and unleash their creativity during Christmas Cards Making Workshop. As learners of different nationalities (Greece, Poland, Romania, Ireland, Denmark) participated in the workshop, it was a great occasion to learn about various European traditions of celebrating Christmas.
During the workshop easily accessible materials such as colourpaper, fabric, wood, wax crayons and buttons were used. After the workshop the participants reported that they enjoyed sharing experiences, felt inspired to bring more creativity to their lives, became more interested in other European cultures and last but not least they had great fun.
Some photos from the workshop can be seen below.
