Self-Reconnection Workshops

Advanced to Assemblies
Idea Submission for The People's Money:
Creating a club after-school or a once-a-week program that gives out a series of workshops to people in the community. These workshops include counseling services and also other workshops where people are able to learn new hobbies, like different types of arts and crafts or just different hobbies where people can learn to express themselves.
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Having a community where people can learn and grow is very important. A lot of people don't pay attention or don't have the time to pay attention to their wellbeing. After work they could be really tired and they don't have a time for themselves. Having these workshops, at least once a week, can help people reconnect with themselves and learn new things while destressing.
