Creating sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs (SEND) Webinar recording Do you want to create sensory backpacks for families with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), but don’t know where to start? About this training In the UK, 11% of children are disabled and in England, 18.4% have special educational needs. Adding non-disabled siblings to these numbers increases this potential audience to a fifth of children in the UK. This simple fact is a powerful advocacy tool to make a business case for SEND inclusion in your museum. One way to support SEND families during a visit is to create a sensory backpack. These resources don’t cost a lot to create, and they can make a powerful difference to a SEND family’s visit. Their economic impact, promoting a longer dwell time and potentially greater spend in the museum, pays back an initial investment quickly. In this session, SEND in Museums Consultant Sam Bowen will guide you through how to create a sensory backpack, drawing on her own professional museum learning knowledge and lived experience as a parent of a child with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). During this virtual training event, we will: · Understand the barriers SEND families face when visiting museums, · Explore examples of best practice in museums for creating sensory backpacks, · Share top tips on how to create backpacks that are bespoke for your setting. Take a look at the full schedule. Who should attend? This training is aimed at staff at museums, art galleries and heritage sites who are interested in making their organisations more welcoming to families with SEND. Please note, this is a recording of a session which took place on 4 June 2025.

Expressing your emotions assertively and appropriately. How you express yourself - your thoughts and your feelings - depends upon how you well you share your emotions, how assertive you are and how independent you are.

This course explores little known ways that emotional intelligence can be used in the workplace by investigating what it is and what it is not. It covers the main models of emotional intelligence and what they mean but more importantly how they can be practically applied at work.

Stop your “I don't have time for this” and animate quickly, using a powerful technique that helps you animate with just a few clicks and drags. The most common reason why people neglect to pursue something in their lives is because the lack of time. Lots of work, lots of things to do. That's the very reason why millions of people love to learn how to do things faster and easier. But how can you do something if there is no such way yet? Frustration hurts, but I had to overcome it. And better yet, help others to avoid it. When I started to take a bit of my sleep time to start a project in animation, I just knew it was going to take me forever, and after the frustration of dropping the project for a couple of months, I came back for revenge! (Not in the negative way, more like in an EPIC WAY!) It was after watching a couple of tutorials for After Effects on Video Copilot that I learned the power of expressions. Got me inspired. There could actually be a way to solve this! As you know, there is no spoiler in saying this, but yes, I found a way. HOORAY! Finally, a solution! That solution is what this course is about. Teaching you how to speed up your animation time with an advanced technique: Rigged Characters. Rigging characters has been used since a couple of years ago, but what I teach you here is how to automate the movements by using expressions (Java code and lots math) inside After Effects to give you the ability to move your characters with just clicks and drags. Just check 1 hour of free lessons to see if you find the techniques interesting. “What options do I have for animating a character?” Picture this. You have a project in your mind, let's say, a 2 minute animation. You have the plot in your mind, it's a good story and you even have the main characters drawn and ready. You know how to use After Effects, because you went to Video Copilot and learned the basics for free. Option 1: Puppet tool You could put your drawings inside After Effects and put a couple of puppet pins, so you can move the character by changing the position of the pins. Right? Well that takes a lot of time to animate, it's faster than drawing frame-by-frame, but still takes a lot of time. Option 2: Cut out animation Maybe you don't know about the puppet tool technique and you just split the character into the different parts of the body. The arms, the legs, the body and the head. Everything in a separate layer. Animating that “rig” takes a lot of time too. Maybe it's faster than classical animation but it won't be as fast as a few clicks and drags to change the position. What can you do to make it super fast? Option 3: Advanced Rigging Using a powerful rig that calculates everything for you so you only have to make a few clicks and drags to change the position of your character. It's so easy that you will remember when you played with toys Have you ever played with toys? If you wanted to raise the hand of your Action Figure or your Barbie, all you had to do was to take the hand and raise it right? Imagine if animating was that simple. Well, this is what this course is going to teach you. How to change body positions in a snap. When you find a solution, everybody wants to know it After I came up with this technique, I brought it to the studio I work for (I do motion graphics for commercials), and they went crazy. They started to ask me for lots of tips because I knew that the secret to be faster in animation was by using expressions. Anybody who knows how to use After Effects knows that the secret to speed up your work is by automating with expressions. And the only way I could help everybody, was by organizing the process and create a couple of videos. That's when the idea for this course was born. Rigged Characters are the common way to speed your animation, everybody knows that Rigged Characters are what most professionals under a schedule use. I'm talking about Nickelodeon, Disney TV. They all use techniques to rig characters and animate faster. But until now, there was no way you could achieve all this in After Effects, you had to do your animation in Toon Boom, or Animate Studio. What about us? The After Effects Community? Well, this is my contribution. An Advanced Rig that helps you control your character easily and quickly, all inside After Effects. If you haven't checked yet, take a look at 1 hour of free lessons and see for yourself how easy you can achieve this rig, and how it can help you to animate faster. “It all sounds great, but, What level of knowledge do I need?” Because I know there is a lot of people who doesn't know how to use After Effects, I made an update and included a tour of the software. Everyone is getting it now. And if you are a veteran user, you might discover some advanced little tips that can help you cut your work time in half. Check the reviews. Animating faster is not only something people with little time need, but also big studios who work under a schedule. This course will help you achieve faster times, deliver work earlier and stay ahead of schedule. “What if I don't understand something? What if I need help?” If you have a question, just ask me and I try to reach as fast as possible. I answer all questions, mostly on the same day. I check my inbox twice a day. And just so you know, this course has had tons of modifications thanks to the many questions I received. Many lessons have been re recorded so anyone can understand the concepts.
