Percussimo gave a two-hour motivation workshop at the LEGACY Conference 2010 held at the University of Ottawa.

The LEGACY Conference 2010 is designed to create a self-driven learning environment, giving students the tools to explore and discover their full potential and understand their measures of success. Throughout the day, delegates participate in personal-development workshops created specifically to give hands-on experience for planning and designing their futures.

Bringing together self-driven students from different faculties and a number of potential employers into an environment that nurtures innovation gives them plenty of opportunities to network with one another.

Percussimo will be giving a training workshop to managers of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research in Ottawa on November 5. The workshop is designed to increase the physical, mental and social well-being of participants through exploration of, and experimentation with, percussion instruments.

A hundred or so managers will be participating in a variety of workshops based on the theme of physical, mental and social well-being for managers. Percussimo will have the honour of performing the closing act with its workshop Drumming for Health.

As part of the entertainment put on for National Public Service Week, Percussimo will be performing their show Voyage for the CIHR employees in Ottawa.

This will be the first of three learning activities that Percussimo is scheduled to perform for the institutes in 2010.

Percussimo kicked off this year’s summer season for Outaouais Tourism under the slogan Awakening your senses… It’s in Our Nature! Participants got a taste of some serious heat to the beat of the African drums.

Eighty-two partners from the Outaouais tourism industry were at the opening ceremony. They were introduced to the Percussimo team and its services by Louis Mbani, the company’s artistic director and CEO.

Because it targets major markets like Montreal, Quebec City, Kingston and the National Capital region, the advertising campaign is expected to open a lot of new doors for Percussimo.
