“If children find learning difficult it could well be that there is something wrong with the way that we are asking them to learn. (Smith, 1982) The operational schemes and figurative schemas that young children display in their self-chosen free play (explained and discussed in our early years’ training) are telling us what children ‘can do’, what they ‘know about’, and what they want to explore and take forward. In order to foster children’s sense of community, their positive perception of self, mastery behaviour, independence and confidence, adults working with young children have a critical role to affirm their play (their schemes and schemas). How adults respond to children’s observed schemes and schemas impacts mastery and learning:

west (women in engineering, science & technology)

WEST is a small charity with a big aim: to inspire girls and women to study and work in non-traditional trades and careers like engineering.Wendy Miller “I was the first full-time female student to study engineering at Sheffield College. After employment as a draughtsperson and engineering project manager, I have worked in education since 2004. I am now Learning and Teaching Lead at the AMRC Training Centre, run by the University of Sheffield, which delivers Engineering Apprenticeships from Advanced to Degree Level. I joined WEST because I believe passionately that we need to actively change women’s perception of STEM careers – and men’s perception of women in engineering! There is a world of opportunity out there for young women and we are missing a lot of talent.” Pat Morton (Chair) Pat Morton (Chair) “I spent 20 years in the construction industry as a surveyor and another 20 years in Higher Education working in equality – particularly gender equality – in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) and built environment. When Ros Wall died we wanted to do something active to remember her. She was a real activist so we decided to set up WEST and support a cause dear to Ros’s heart.” Saj Parveen Saj Parveen “I undertook a foundation course in engineering at Sheffield College / Sheffield Hallam University, followed by a degree in engineering, and then a postgraduate certificate. I’m now a senior lecturer in mechanical design engineering. I love developing and inspiring the next generation of engineers and especially keen to see more women becoming engineers, which is why I got involved with WEST.”

little art school

At the Little Art School we put nurturing and confidence building at the heart of our classes. The course has been designed to build self-esteem in children and the environment our classes are held in have an ambience of calm and gentleness which helps the children to relax and encourages their creativity. As children get older they begin to be more self-critical and much more self-conscious. At the Little Art School we have only one rule: we don’t allow children to be highly critical of their work, there are no “Mine’s Rubbish!!” uttered in the class. At the end of each class every child is encouraged to point out which part of their painting or drawing they are particularly pleased with. At the start of their time with us some of the older children find this quite difficult, preferring to avoid ridicule by denigrating their work. However, as the weeks go by, they understand that this is an environment where the ability to look for the positive is actively encouraged. They become much more able to search for what they like in their work and they begin to see the painting in a different, infinitely more positive, way. By searching for the positive aspects of their art their perception of the work transforms. We also encourage the children to praise the work of their classmates. For older children this can be difficult at first, the need to look ‘cool’ at the latter end of the time a primary school only intensifies in secondary school.

new perceptions training

rachel sedman

Rachel makes quiet works that evoke a presence or memory of a place or experience. Her areas of practice are influenced by sound, perception and time and how this is expressed visually and sonically. She works with a diverse range of mediums using painting, sound, film & historic photographic processes. Through creating work she intends to harness meaning and resonance which in turn invites the viewer to make their own connection to it. A UK based artist, she trained in both design and fine art at Manchester and Leeds Arts Universities. This multi disciplinary approach provides a lens through which to view and reflect upon themes of consciousness and being and how these reflections can be expressed visually and sonically. She has collaborated with organisations such as The National Trust and her work is held in private collections in the UK, USA and Australia.

iac - international academy of consciousness

The International Academy of Consciousness is an education and research organization dedicated to investigating the nature of consciousness. We do this through the exploration of human exceptional experiences such as the out-of-body experience (astral travel or astral projection), clairvoyance, expansion of awareness, extra-sensory perception, channelling, near-death experience, energy healing, and other psychic phenomena. We share knowledge and teach subtle energy and astral travel techniques to empower everyone to seek their truth by themselves. We want to equip people to reinvent themselves and dare to create the world they dream of, because one’s grasp of reality determines how far one can reach. In our courses we endeavor to deliver the most accurate and updated knowledge, in an unbiased way. We seek to continuously examine psychic phenomena and expand our body of knowledge in a transcendental yet down-to-earth manner.

aquababes ni mid & east antrim

Our Baby, Toddler and Young Child programmes are designed so that you are encouraged to take an active part in your child's earliest learn to swim experience. It is a wonderful opportunity to bond and learn from each other in a supportive and playful environment. Swimming with your baby strengthens your parent-child relationship and through early contact with other babies of the same age, it further supports your child’s development particularly with regards personality and social and motor skills. Your child's positive attitude to water and the extent of his familiarity with it will form the basis for his enjoyment and overall perception of the water for years to come. Laying the foundation for your child’s interest in learning to swim when he is older, complies with the basic principle of teaching swimming – to initiate the learning process by getting used to and coping with the water step by step.

sami green creative

Sami Green is a teacher, mentor, and workshop facilitator in Bristol and North Somerset. She completed a Fine Art BA at University Centre Somerset with Honours in 2021. Before this, Sami worked for 15 years creating, coordinating and building imaginative decorative environments for events. Wedding magazines and blogs across the world featured her styled photoshoots. Installation commissions include Plimsoll Productions, Tokyo World and Awesome Events. In May 2021, her degree artworks won a window display space and funding at Weston-Super-Shop Windows, a community project organised by Weston Arts Space. In 2022 her community-centred artwork Flutter II for St. John’s Church, Highbridge, won a new artist bursary from Somerset Art Works. Sami continues to develop The Transformation Project, curating responses through artist collaboration for SAW Festival in September 2022. Sami used her degree studies as an opportunity to develop ideas about perception and experience within critical spatial practice. A development from events experience. Her July 2021 exhibition, Emergentism, experimented with the sensory and intellectual processes that help us understand the world around us. Taking inspiration from nature, her unusual, abstract, material, and process-driven forms offered participants immersive, light and sound experiences through colour and frequency. In 2022, ideas led by research into art education practices and the benefits of art and culture to the wellbeing of a community have become central to development. Sami has worked with the community to develop a socially engaged artwork, exploring the collective potential and the possibilities in collaboration. She is working with cross-disciplinary performers and makers to promote a four-dimensional approach to experience through sculptural installation, sound, performance, and workshops. Exploring the multi-sensory in terms of perception and experience formed the backbone of recent experimentation. My research paper into the practices of Olafur Eliasson underpins these ideas,
