question:Hi Mark, I really like the idea of structuring the workshop into segments and giving attendees time to brainstorm and share their own ideas. That will make the workshop more interactive and engaging. Let's schedule a video call for next Wednesday at 2 pm EST. That should give us enough time to create a solid outline before the conference. In the meantime, I'll start working on some examples for the storytelling and drama segment. If you could focus on the interactive games and visual aids, that would be great! Thanks for your collaboration and insights. I'm confident our workshop will be a success! Best, Sarah
