Fed Up or Fired Up: Unleashing creativity and fun in residential care

Description

Arts and activities are central to social pedagogy and what you do with children and young people who are in your care. The Scottish Government’s ‘Vision of Scotland’s Children’ requires ‘a holistic framework… to promote the wellbeing and interests of each child’. This includes ‘having opportunities to take part in activities such as play, recreation and sport which contribute to healthy grown and development, both at home and in the community. This seminar will give you the opportunity to consider how to enrich daily life events to achieve the minister’s vision.

Who Should Come?

Aim

• The event will provide opportunities to learn from each other and develop skills, knowledge and confidence in providing activities that are creative and interesting

Networking will be key to making progress, whatever your level of expertise or areas of interest.
