Ancient Maya Workshop
One Day Creative
One Day is a forward-thinking creative education company, connecting children and learning with creativity and imagination. In this drama workshop, your facilitator will take your classes waaaay back to Mesoamerica to receive an ancient Mayan education and find out what life would have been like as part of this unique society. Magnificent (and a little bit terrifying!) gods, fearsome rituals and tasty chocolate... safe to say, they were a fascinating lot.
