  • A1 and A2: Mindfulness Workshop Mary – Jane Armstrong

Mindfulness meditation is a life skill which deepens our sense of wellbeing and fulfilment. It involves paying attention to what is occurring in our present moment, without judgement. This short introduction to the subject will highlight key aspects of mindfulness and offer tools and techniques that you can use with individuals or groups.

  • B1 and B2: Learn with Fred – Janet Weir

Find out more about Learn with Fred, a family learning programme. At the heart of this programme is the recognition that parents and carers are their child’s first educator, and play a significant role in giving their child the best start in life. The Learn with Fred project emphasises the importance of a child’s home-life and parents’ role as early educators in developing literacy skills.

  • C1 and C2: Creative opportunities: engaging with adults through the arts – Kirsty Scott

How you can use creative opportunities to engage with adults and communities. Using examples from practice and discussions, participants will share ideas and theories on how practitioners can incorporate the arts in community learning and development work. This approach can be especially useful in dealing with difficult issues and promoting solidarity.
