About this program

Created from a state-wide training initiative throughout Wisconsin, five regional artists worked together to create interactive exercises meant to increase opportunities for engagement during COVID-19. It is a workbook that is filled with various activities and Beautiful Questions.

A zine (pronounced zeen) is a small collection of artistic content that fits a theme. Often done by one artist, or a small group of artists, they are made by hand and photocopied for distribution. Zines are a shorter, more niche version of a magazine. Our zine is interactive and has lots of activities for you to do, either by yourself, or with others.

The zine is meant to be printed and then bound or stapled on the left hand edge where there is blank space.

You can lead these activities in small groups or one-on-one. Many Activities Professionals have shared that they had luck using each zine as a group collective effort. Each zine had the exercises completed by multiple participants. There are no wrong answers on how to use this!

All three zines explore different areas of the home. You can do them in or out of order as you please. Do activities daily, weekly, or at any pace that works for you.
