BRAVE
in SCHOOLS
Literacy with an innovative oral language focus
What do we offer?
BRAVE offers practical workshops embedding social and emotional learning through oral language, drama, physical education and mindfulness activities. Through fun confidence building activities, we nurture positive relationships, positive communication and positive thinking and highlight the importance of noticing the role models around us.
The value of a BRAVE workshop not only reaches children but will build confident teachers too. After observing these workshops, teachers are equipped with a tool kit of language, management techniques and concrete learning activities that can be used as part of the school’s oral language programme.
Interpersonal Skills taught...
BRAVE creates a space for children to build the interpersonal skills that will allow them to communicate and interact effectively and to express themselves, building a solid foundation for collaborative learning and mutual respect.
