Summary

This project researched and tested arts-based PSHE workshops for SEND schools, exploring themes of  health and wellbeing, bullying, and e-safety through storytelling, music, and puppetry. A new suite of workshops was developed to support understanding of online safety, communication and teamwork, and building self-esteem.

“This project has inspired and validated our work. We are now so incredibly driven to expand and engage as many schools as possible with SEN provision and specialist schools in our workshops. It has very much informed the next stage or our three-year plan and will be a huge part of our funding drive.” – Embracing Arts
