Senior School Workshops
Whether we journey together through our series of educational modules, or deliver one-off workshops, students are supported to develop a deeper understanding of theories of disability and inclusion.
Students will reflect on their attitudes and biases, and to develop practical skills to support people with disability and their peers throughout school and in the wider world.
The educational content is delivered by expert young leaders.
We engage young adult facilitators, passionate about disability inclusion and education, and we equip them with the knowledge and skills to educate on the topics that matter most to your school community and students.

Session 1: Own Your Difference
Difference is a superpower. Let’s teach it that way.
Mapped to the goals of the Personal and Social Capabilities Curriculum.
Achieve these targets, no prep needed.
One session. Big shift.
This powerful stand-alone session invites students to reflect on how we perceive ourselves and others. Through storytelling, interactive games and group sharing, students explore how:
→ Labels can limit or uplift
→ Difference is something to embrace, not hide
→ Identity and belonging shape how we connect
Facilitated by people with lived experience of disability, this session creates a safe space to:
→ Connect
→ Engage
→ Reflect
Students leave with a renewed understanding of the power of difference and the role they play in creating inclusive communities.

The Complete Series: Disability & Inclusion
If students connect with our first session, we take it further.
Our 5-part series builds on ‘Own Your Difference’ and dives into what it truly means to be inclusive through the lens of disability. Our modules are built on 10+ years of hands-on experience in the disability sector.
We bring real-world insight to challenge and expand students' understanding of inclusion.
The result? More inclusive young people who carry those lessons into friendships, classrooms and beyond.
