Workshops for Schools

This is one of the most exciting times for the development of technologies and around the globe, people’s lives are being improved through a range of digital solutions.

However, with the exponential growth of the number of connected devices, there is now also a greater need to teach our future generations about the importance of being responsible Digital Citizens who are able to make the right choices, and that is why we should be focussing more on ensuring that our children are developing strategies to ensure their own Digital Wellbeing.

In order to achieve this there needs to be a solid partnership between schools and families which offers support and guidance on different strategies that can be implemented which will develop positive behaviours associated around the use of technology.

Our program explores the latest technological trends which impact on children lives and includes a deeper dive to develop strategies which can be used to enhance understanding of online safety, privacy and security, relationships, cyberbullying, digital footprints and self image. Support on parental involvement is developed through meetings and a guide on how to develop successful strategies at home.

An introduction to mindfulness and practical mindful techniques that teachers can put into practice in the classroom to: manage stress; improve emotional regulation; resilience and communication. The session will be informative and experiential and attendees will also be given additional ideas for mindful activities they can take away and try out for themselves in their own classrooms. By the end of this workshop teachers should have a good understanding of what mindfulness is, understand how to develop and use ‘intrapersonal’ mindfulness to improve physical and emotional wellbeing and how to use this to generate ‘interpersonal’ mindfulness to cultivate empathy, leading to a more peaceful and collaborative learning environment.
