“BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

THE PUSH THE LIMIT WORKSHOP

The Push the Limits workshop is designed to provide learning that is engaging and meaningful for children and relates closely the Principles of the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia.
With the help of my friends in the education sector, I have designed activities and resources that will allow children to briefly experience the challenges that many people manage on a daily basis. These age appropriate experiences can then be a catalyst for you to further explore the concept of social barriers, social bias and empathy with your students and educators.
