What is IMWe?

Workshops at IMWe

Each year at IMWe several workshops are offered to the participants, in which they will spend their entire morning. The workshops differ from year to year but always focus on creativeness, such as painting, acting, making music, inventing things, telling stories, and dancing. Throughout the week the workshops prepare something and set up a show at the final evening, displaying the creative work of the week. The teamers make effort in inventing new and special workshops every year so that one can go as often to IMWe as he desires and still always learn something new. Last few years have featured workshops like bookbinding, Flying Objects, UV-Theatre, puppet making, storytelling, cooking etc.
