Engaging Activities that Encourage Understanding and Acceptance
EqualiTeach delivers workshops with young people on many different aspects of equality, diversity and inclusion.
Workshops are interactive, engaging and tailored to different age groups, abilities and learning needs. We work with primary, secondary, special schools and youth groups, colleges, pupil referral units and alternative provisions.
Fun and Interactive
All of our workshops include a variety of activities and discussion points to ensure that they are fun and engaging.
Workshop activities are designed to get young people thinking, reflecting and talking, building their confidence and supporting them to develop and share their ideas and opinions.
Inclusive and Safe
Our facilitators take time to build rapport and create a safe and inclusive environment for workshops to take place.
This is an important part of our workshops as it allows us to address controversial and emotive topics with young people in an environment where everyone is able to contribute without fear of judgement or being put into an unsafe position.
Tailored and Accessible
We liaise with schools in advance to ensure our resources are tailored to meet the needs of the young people we’ll be working with so all participants can access the learning.
We have a range of tried and tested tools and techniques for differentiating our resources and delivery, whether delivering to young people at a special school, to mixed ability groups at a mainstream school, or for pupils who have English as an Additional Language.
Inspiring and Empowering
Whilst our workshops are often covering topics which can feel heavy and emotive, we ensure our content focusses on equipping young people with skills to navigate these topics, building empathy, and empowering young people to have their voices heard and create positive change.
