self-expression

Various dictionaries define the phenomenon as

'the expression of one's individuality (usually through creative activities)'

'(the) expression of one's own personality, feelings, or ideas, as through speech or art'

What possibly best explains The Pomegranate Workshop™’s view of self expression is what author and Nobel laureate Pearl S Buck has to say:

“Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment”

That would essentially mean that the potential and need for self expression exists in every human being but it reaches any kind of fruition only when communicated.
And that is why The Pomegranate Workshop™ has come into being – to establish a link between professionals who practice some form of self expression every working day, communicators who can help translate this professional expertise for an audience and of course, children, who are nothing short of petri dishes of creativity – it has to be a potent combination for innovative output.
