Why mindset matters: see the meaning in children’s behaviour
This workshop explores the question: How does the way we think about children, especially those who are behaving in ways we might find challenging, affect our ability to provide the nurturing relationships they need for true inclusion and emotional wellbeing? Participants will identify ways in which authentic and secure relationships with children help when things go wrong and identify responsive, positive strategies that support children’s self-regulation.

NESA Accredited - Children and the community: place based pedagogy
In this workshop we examine children’s identity, of belonging to place, enacting citizenship rights and responsibilities. Place-based pedagogy creates opportunities to become deeply immersed in experiencing the world around us. Learning in these moments is both organic and visceral as there is much to learn from the places we inhabit. In ‘place’ we learn about ourselves, our capacities, and responsibilities.
