FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We can custom-create workshops and series for you, for five participants or more. We appreciate knowing your interests, goals, ages, and group size, and tailor it to those criteria.
Yes. Invite us to co-host, or we'll host you.
Workshops can be adapted to work both in-person and/or live online. Hybrid workshops are possible with slideshows provided first, followed by artifacts and hands-on activities in person. You can always send a request with what you have in mind.
The optimum group size is 25 participants or less.
All participants using materials, adult and child, are counted as group participants. Larger groups can be accommodated. In schools, providing an assembly or school-wide event is possible, depending on the workshop topic, logistics, and other details. Often a rotation of groups is the best way to involve large groups.
Fees are determined using information you provide on the REQUEST form. Multiple workshops scheduled at one location receive priority.
IN-PERSON
Time schedule, group size, transportation, and materials are figured into the equation. The cost per person is approximately $15 per person.
LIVE ONLINE MEETINGS
It depends on the arrangement, most workshops run $200 for 60 minutes. Hybrid workshops are also possible, ie. slideshows provided live online, and artifacts and hands-on activities in person.
Ages 4-104 are best! Mixed age groups, youth, tweens, teens, adults, seniors, all abilities, and special needs are welcome. Adult professional development, team building, work teams, education, and other gatherings are possible.
Materials and tools needed are minimal. Peopleologie supplies most materials and equipment, rarely needing more than a sink, tables, chairs, and electricity. Details are outlined in a workshop guide sent prior to the workshop.
If you'd like the optional slideshow, having a projection system and computer is needed. A designated parking place in urban areas is important, as well. It's rare, but when absolutely necessary, we will bring a laptop.
A series is optimum for providing the richest and deepest learning experiences. Not only is it cost effective, but participants build on, retain, and extend learning through sequential experiences, layering knowledge and skills that naturally interrelate. You choose the workshops or let us tailor a series for you. Included in each workshop description are recommendations for related workshops. By building a series you receive scheduling priority and reduced fees.
Peopleologie is an independent organization. Workshops are arranged solely by request and contracted independently of funding from school districts. For a list of schools we've visited, see WHO WE'VE VISITED.
IN PERSON
Two to three workshops per day are often possible in elementary schools, for 15-30 participants per workshop. Middle schools with back-to-back core blocks work well. In middle and high schools multiple or subsequent days may be scheduled. Some teachers opt for a hybrid schedule with their slideshow provided live online, and followed by an in-person visit the next day.
LIVE ONLINE MEETING
Just host a meeting and invite Peopleologie to co-host.
IN PERSON
Single dates or multiple workshops are welcome. Often, organizations with multiple locations or branches schedule centrally, creating a master calendar or list of dates. Also, workshops can be designed to relate to themes like Summer Learning, specific cultural heritage months, Tech Turn-Off weeks, etc.
Scheduling two locations for one day is our highest priority, as it lowers your fee and provides the best use of time and travel efforts. For this, it is best to leave an hour between the end/start times at the two locations, and secure (please!) a parking space nearby.
LIVE ONLINE MEETING
Just host the meeting and make us co-host, or we'll host and invite you.
