The majority of creatives don’t have access to education that is applicable to their goals and ambitions. As the world begins to recognize the importance of art, in all of it’s forms, The Listen Movement aims to build a foundation for creatives to grow and learn the necessary skills to pursue their chosen paths.

The Listen Movement is comprised of people from many walks of life. We come together to help provide the education and resources that we wished were available when we began our journeys. The creative industry is a treacherous one and we learn too quickly that a skillset or "product/service" we offer isn’t always going to create opportunity. Often, it seems as if there is a locked gate blocking us from everything we strive for.
At The Listen Movement, we believe that with access to the right information and the right community, any creative can successfully forge their own path.
Through our partnership with The Alberta Abbey, we bring more power to artists/creatives with free, all ages workshops! Our workshops are designed for and by creatives to maximize our growth. Whether you are just getting into a craft or you have been at it for years, we will always need to hone these skills and educate ourselves on the industry we operate in.
The workshops are broken up into 3 portions. The first is Networking, one of the most vital skills for creatives to master. Followed by an educator from the community that oversees the educational portion. This workshop is catered to the creative industry. From Business 101 to Work-Life Balance, the middle workshop is meant to help us be more successful in our creative avenues.
After a break for food (provided by The Listen Movement), we begin the Content Workshop. This is where we learn different forms of content and how different content is applicable to different mediums. Then, we work together to create content!
