TRAINING workshops
We provide creative training programmes for charities, the VCSE sectors, libraries, universities, community groups and ESG/CSR teams at mission-driven corporates across London.
Here at Urban Curiosity, we are interested in how changemakers can make a positive impact without suffering from burnout or compassion fatigue. Because the World Health Organization states chronic work-related stress leads to burnout. And depression will likely be the leading cause of disease by 2030.
Now consider this: the average person spends 90,000 hours at work across a lifetime. It’s time for a new approach and we believe it starts with curiosity. Find out how we can engage your staff, students, volunteers or community this year. Get in touch→
let’s work together!

clients say
“
The Urban Curiosity founder was an everyday Londoner and far from the kind of mindfulness leader I had been expecting. ‘Mental health’ is still a scary phrase despite its obvious importance but the session was full of practical advice with tips relatable to everyday life.”

Urban Curiosity embodies all that creativity is and should be: collaboration, fun, openness to learning and a willingness to follow sparks that emerge from all these things. The Walkshop provides a practical focus on your own creative processes and a springboard to new and exciting things. It will nurture your creativity for months to come.”
