Just Different Learning about disability

By: Anthony, 920 days ago

JustDifferent is delighted to announce that, after several months of research and development JustDifferent has now added a range of new and exciting workshops to its existing Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 workshops.
We are especially pleased to say that we are now able to satisfy all of those enquiries from secondary schools with two fabulous workshops.

Key Stage 3 Workshop
• A one hour session
• Lots of audience participation and active discussion.
• Identifying different types of disability and their characteristics
• Our disabled presenter will share with the group his or her personal experiences, with particular reference to developing independence and the challenges of secondary education.

Key Stage 4 Workshop
• A two hour session
• Group discussion and encouraging the group to ask those ‘uncomfortable’ questions.
• The disability movement and its influence in the UK
• Disability ‘etiquette’
• Our disabled presenter will share with the group his or her personal experiences, with particular reference to choosing a career and seeking employment.

Both of the above satisfy the requirements of the PSHE and Citizenship parts of the National Curriculum. Additionally we have been asked on several occasions to support mentoring programmes in schools and we are now able to offer a modular mentoring programme aimed at students in Key Stage 4.
