The package is designed so you can adapt the resources to suit your audience. You can do this by:choosing a ready-made workshop making up your own. Choose one of our 3 ready-made workshopsPre English—1 hourThis workshop has lots of activities. It is for groups who have very little English. It is useful for groups that include people with limited literacy in their own language, including people who have not had much experience of formal education.
