This Dabble & Discover creative wellness workshop invites students to slow down, relax, and craft their very own musical box. Guided by a facilitator, participants will be introduced to the materials and basic techniques needed to assemble and personalise their box. Beyond crafting, participants are given the opportunity for students to pause, recharge, and focus on the present moment. The hands-on process of piecing together each element — paired with melody — encourages mindful engagement and provides a refreshing break from school. Free with registration here.
