Workshops

Sometimes you want to do, not just listen. Our workshops are hands-on sessions where you'll learn practical skills in a small group setting, guided by experienced practitioners who do this work every day.

About Workshops

While most COLLECTIVE. events are talks, our workshops offer something different: the chance to learn by doing. These are smaller, more intensive sessions where you'll work through exercises, try new tools, or develop new skills with guidance from an expert. Perfect for when you want to go deeper on a topic.

Who It's For

Anyone who learns best by doing. Each workshop clearly states what skill level is expected—some are designed for complete beginners, others assume some existing knowledge. Check the individual workshop description to make sure it's right for your level.

What to Expect

Small group sizes mean you'll get personal attention and have your questions answered. You'll leave with practical skills you can use immediately, not just theoretical knowledge. Workshops are interactive—expect to participate, not just observe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to bring to a workshop?

Each workshop listing specifies exactly what you'll need—usually just a laptop. We'll always give you plenty of notice about any software to install or materials to bring. Some workshops provide everything on the day.

Are workshops suitable for complete beginners?

Some are, some aren't! Each workshop clearly states the expected skill level and any prerequisites. We run workshops for all levels, so check the specific event description to find one that matches where you're at.

How many people attend workshops?

We keep workshops small—typically 10-20 people—to ensure everyone gets personal attention and can ask questions. This means places can fill up quickly, so book early!

Are workshops still free?

Yes! Like all COLLECTIVE. events, our workshops are completely free. We believe hands-on learning shouldn't be locked behind expensive course fees.
