Chasing Fireflies: A Creative Writing Program for Kids

Have you seen a firefly? Don’t they look magical? Ever wondered from where do they get the light?

Chasing Fireflies is a creative writing program designed to help children see that light inside them and to fire up their imagination. So join us as we imagine, think, share, write, create and chase the light within.

Note: The workshop is meant for every child who desires and deserves to express his/her self.
