Develop your Sensory Lexiconary

The Sensory Projects

Develop your own sensory lexiconary, and learn how to use it to communicate with those who experience meaning in a primarily sensory way.
 
We tend to think of words as the only units of meaning but our first, and often our last, communications are sensory exchanges. Sensory experiences hold meaning. Many individuals lead lives in which sensory communication is their dominant method of connecting with others. When we develop our own sensory lexiconary we create opportunities for new conversations and connections.
The day will be hands on, interactive and lots of sensory fun. Insight from research will mix with insight gained from personal experiences on the day. Delegates will leave as confident sensory communicators with lots of ideas for sensory resources to use in their communications.
