Experience what it's like for children and young people to take part in All About Me direct work, which is one of the the entry points to Creative Life Story Work.
All About Me helps children and young people explore who they are today, what is happening right now, and express their hopes and dreams for the future. They can either take part in All About Me Creative Experience in a group setting, or engage in All About Me direct work with a trusted adult, such as a foster carer or social worker.
This Live Classroom is workshop-based, with plenty of opportunities for you to try out methods, ask questions and build your confidence in using the All About Me Direct Work tools.
“I found the classroom sessions thoroughly engaging and well worth the time invested. They provided first-hand experience and insight into the activities and tools that artists and workers will be using to engage with our children and young people.” Training participant.
