EDUCATION

The previous ‘Looking After Myself’ sessions were delivered side-by-side with the Kent Police Youth Engagement Officer for Dartford and one of our Community Programme Team Members, looking at personal online safety.

Road Safety Assemblies

  • informing, educating, and showing children and young people how to keep safe when they are out and about
  • promoting safe travel for children and young people
  • improving the environment and creating safer streets

The programme has been developed and delivered in association with Kent County Council Road Safety Team. Each assembly provides information to empower children to highlight road safety issues that affect them locally and learn how to keep themselves safe on the streets around their school and locally in Dartford. Children and young people will experience decision making for themselves whilst using their own initiative.

Songwriting Programme

  • empowering children and young people through the art and craft of songwriting
  • using the theme of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 competition within songwriting
  • boosting confidence, self-esteem and mental health through participation

Each one-day songwriting workshop will inspire the next generation of songwriters and storytellers to make sense of the world we live and learn in. Previous workshops used the theme of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 competition to engage children and young people. The workshop is delivered by an experienced workshop tutor who removes barriers to music creation and participation by making the whole process accessible for all through the power and flexibility of music technology.
