What is Passion in Action?
Passion in Action is an immersive professional development experience designed to equip young artists with the skills and habits needed to lean into their passions and enter their chosen industry with confidence.
In our interative micro workshops participants practice the building blocks of successful collaborations, while working to define their own mission statements and elevator pitches. The dynamic networking component is designed to bring Emerging Creatives together with Passionate Professionals from the worlds of Business, Arts & Science for exciting one-on-one conversations. The closing activity, the Open Mic is where we acknowledge each other and reaffirm our commitment to contributing to the creative community.
