What to Expect
Over the course of six days, students will:

- Explore jazz and blues history (through games, storytelling, and interactive workshops).
- Develop confidence and creativity in a safe, inclusive, and fun environment.
- Take part in Mental Wellness Workshops (interactive sessions on self-esteem and emotional wellness led by trained facilitators to support emotional well-being)
