Peacemakers

Join us in this interactive online workshop as we  explore how we can use circles  as a space for social and emotional learning.

Circles offer a space for reflection, for fun and for building and strengthening relationships in school. During this period of lockdown, children and adults in school will have experienced a range of emotions and events in their lives. Circles can bring people together and allow everyone to reconnect, discover and support one another. Peacemakers has been running circles in schools for over 30 years. We usually offer this training to staff in schools and train by modelling our approaches. This will be the first time we are offering training online, and we would love you to join us. We will be attempting to recreate elements of our training through the use of break out rooms on Zoom and other platforms to make the experience as engaging as possible. There will be opportunities to share experiences of circle work and to consider how we can adapt our circles with social distancing in mind. This is a basic introduction to circles for those who have never used them before or for those who want to refresh their practice. We will offer you a structure for planning , access to resources and ideas to get you started, in a relaxed session. We look forward to seeing you!
