“I am definitely way more confident. Just from watching the artists, their approach, I feel a lot more confident. I had never used some of the skills before. Usually, we have 30 minutes to make art. I loved doing it over many sessions and giving it an end point and context.”
Teacher
“I have new skills, definitely. Art skills and how to manage children’s anxiety – how to reassure them that it is fine if they get it wrong and to think positively about their mistakes and not worry too much about it. We got so much info about how to support children with behaviour and skills.”
