Maybe you have an idea for a project, but you can't seem to get started. Or you have the desire to write, but nothing to write about. You find yourself staring at a blank page, frustrated and discouraged. What now?
This 90 minute workshop is for people who need help finding ideas and/or inspiration. You'll go through a series of exercises that will help you put words on paper (or screen), so you have something to build upon next time you write. Get past the blank page and into your project--start writing!

Workshop: Video Making, September 28th, 2019
Ever dreamed of turning your passion for audio-visual content or digital marketing into a paid hobby, or even a full-time profession?
Word Up, based in Amsterdam, will be running a 'best practice' workshop on video making for local business, or non-profit organisations.
In the workshop, participants will be provided with best practice guides to brainstorming, planning, video shoots, editing, social media marketing and industry entry points. The guides will come in the form of single side PDF and a short talk on each practice.
This workshop isn’t for experienced video makers or social media marketers, but will be a useful entry-point where you can gain entry level skills in a friendly atmosphere, and provide an opportunity to network with like-minded participants.
See you there!

TESTIMONIALS:
Sandra Fernandez Pascual:
"Very inspiring workshop that helped me to find out more about myself and my path in life. Sharing all the thoughts with the group and making the artistic boards it was a fun way to analyse the most important things that define our evolution but also to get to know ourselves more deeply. On the whole, a different way to discover what our personal brand is about and how to work on it. Looking forward to next workshops!" |
Jennifer Nunez:
"I got so much out of the personal brand workshop! I got to connect with new people on a deeper level who then saw the truth and beauty in each other. In just 2 hours i learned more about myself than the last month of searching!" |
Colina van Bemmel:
"For me, this workshop opened the space to explore what motivates me and how to express that into the world. I love how hands-on the experience felt, we immediately started to make something that represented our personal brand. Our trainer Evelina guided the process in a lighthearted and warm way, making each person feel safe and heard. Working in a group was great and I feel we learned a lot from the other participants as well. This was a good introduction into personal branding: not too much theory that you can easily find online, but already building your brand and seeing it through the eyes of others!" |
Workshop: The Speaking Heart - September 21st, 2018 - 18.00
Workshop hosted by Aspasia was about transformational poetry. Participants were invited to learn about the transformative aspects of the spoken word arts. The vibration of the own voice is one of the most powerful healing instruments given to us. If we learn how utilize our voice in order to free stuck emotions and experiences, holds a great potential for self-transformation. The main ingredients of this workshop are authenticity and courage. |
Learning to master the basis of communication, how to use a microphone, how to use your voice. Also how to get over your stage fright and how to put more power in your presentations.
TESTIMONIALS:
Petras Ramanauskas:
"The workshop was a real suprise for me. At the first sight it might seem that it's an event to hear the theory, but in reality it's a personal, intimate and comforting session to tackle ones needs to control ones' voice through a real exercise." |

Arthur Ervin Avramiea "I was surprised at how many things I learned in the two hours of the workshop. The comments from the coach, Milagros, as well as from the other participants, were very helpful. It was also insightful to learn how other performers think about their act. I found the atmosphere challenging, yet open and comfortable. I look forward to future workshops." Joanna Leon: "The setting was relaxed and intimate with there being such a small group. It was particularly insightful as each of us came from a different performance background we were able to witness different forms of stage presentation. Also due to the small group they workshop was able to facilitate feedback on a very personal level from the coach and the other participants. The timeframe of 2 hours meant it was quite short but for me, I was able to fit it into a busy schedule rather than having to block a full day. I would recommend this to all kinds of performers."
