The masterclass is themed around The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The book is perhaps the most famous example of all time of a story memorably imparting a universally relevant message – “the grass isn’t greener on the other side”. Its exploration of mental health, masculinity, acceptance of difference and the dangers of worshipping false idols means it has never been more relevant.
The class includes a live psychology experiment, a practical exercise and topical examples. It is designed to stimulate, inspire and leave you buzzing with ideas.
