Another busy morning!

Helen mentioned her recent work with 69 magazine. David’s a consultant, lecturer and photographer. He let me know about the workshops, like [...]

One of our friends, Boz Zashev, is planning to translate the CreativeCoffee Club manifesto in to Bulgarian and post it in an online community for Bulgarian teachers, with links back here.  I’ll post a link when he’s done it.  We look forward to and welcome any new BG visitors!
