🧵 Our Creative Upcycling for Sustainable Communities project was a huge success, with every adult learner reporting they now feel confident using any type of sewing machine and creating their own designs.

👻🎃😱 Look who rocked up to class this morning!

ℹTeaching about cultural events helps students understand cultural diversity, history, and the evolution of traditions, and T-Rex was a fun and engaging way to teach about Halloween in a cultural context.
