GLOW Professional Development: Bookings Open

We are delighted to introduce the first session of our Autumn 2024 Professional Development Programme:

Relate, Create and Play!

With John Quinn

(Tues 8th October 2024  4-6pm)

Join us to explore how creative performance-based activities can support relational practice in a Thrive informed approach to creative classrooms.

John Quinn is a multi-disciplinary artist and experienced Thrive trainer who has recently facilitated a GLOW Newcastle Artist Residency at South Gosforth First School. Drawing on this residency experience John will invite you to explore:

• Drama games to develop emotional resilience
• Journaling to support creativity
• Making and sharing activities to strengthen relationships and empathy

John’s work in the arts and in emotional and mental health has included numerous in-school interventions, as well as training clown doctors for TinArts, working with primary and secondary age children on the Healthy Emotional Lives programme, and supporting children and young people on the Loneliness Projects in Gateshead and the West End of Newcastle.

GLOW Newcastle will provide a handout of the workshop activities explored and references for wider reading.
