As this year comes to an end, I want to take a moment to recap what’s happened at Open City in 2020 – experiences that you helped to create in an extraordinary time. During the initial phases of sheltering-in-place back in March, Inner {Art} Shifts was born. And on its heels, Art Breaks for children, co-led by […]

Open City experiences introduces virtual experiences during the sheltering periods across the world. During this time, many people are rightly opting to stay home and self-isolate – or are mandated to do this by their local governments for public health. It’s a time when our routines have been upended, and our social contact restricted. We […]

Nowadays, work occupies a huge amount of time in our daily lives. Especially in America, a lot of people tend to act like they’re walking resumes. Whatever time or occasion, people like to talk about their professional background as ice breaker in a conversation. Although it is easy to define people by their career, there […]

Children are known for their ability to absorb new knowledge. Like sponges, their brains are developing, each day filling their growing memory with knowledge and experience. In this way children are like blank pieces of paper. Any stroke of ink looks very impressive. Being a younger student however, doesn’t guarantee efficient learning. With so much […]
Negotiation skills are important in daily life
Negotiation means to find a common ground for your best interest with other people who disagree with your opinions or ideas. It is so important, but it is also easily neglected by the people outside of the business world. In fact, negotiation skills are essential in every aspect of daily life, not only exist in […]
How our workshops can jump-start your creativity as a mother
Motherhood is a creative act – from the formation of life to the daily routines of caring for children.
