Run in collaboration with Tender, Shifting Point is delivered as weekly sessions across 6-weeks or as a week’s intensive for Year 5 students. Closely linked to the PSHE curriculum it is designed to help children:
- communicate and collaborate with their peers
- better able to express positive and negative emotions that affect their collaborative work
- listen and respond with empathy to different perspectives
- learn new skills that stretch the boundaries of what they believe they can achieve
- understand the components of healthy and unhealthy relationships, and where to access support.
Teachers and school staff:
- Become more skilled and resourced for Healthy Relationship education
- Feel more confident using arts-based approaches to teach Healthy Relationships.
