Threads of Conscience – Plant A Seed Workshops

 Threads of Conscience Plant a Seed Playshops are play/workshops for preschool/school aged children. The play/workshops are designed to empower children and encourage communication and participation in environmental and social/emotional activities and discussions relevant to them.

Helping children to engage in and understand the world around them, their feelings/emotions and the healthy expression of them is vital to their development.

Activities are designed to enhance children’s participation by encouraging role-play and facilitating question time. This provides the children with opportunities to explore their questions, thoughts and feelings about social/emotional and environmental issues in a safe and supportive collaborative group environment.

Children discover and learn to understand a significant part of their world through interaction, play and playground experiences with their peers. This is well documented even from a very young age.

To provide play/workshops that encourage children to interact with each other in positive and informative manner helps to foster further understanding and greater communication skills and a strong sense of autonomy.

Creating play/workshops activities and experiences that encourage the development of children’s natural curiosity and ability to co-operate with and consider the thoughts and feelings of others helps to foster children’s awareness and empathy.

Threads of Conscience play/workshop’s are creatively designed so that all of the children may experience a chance to speak up and speak out about things that may be important to them in their daily lives. By sharing stories and activities relating to the environment, peace, harmony, kindness, feelings, co-operation, consideration, understanding we can create communities of informed children who care.

Threads of Conscience play/workshop lessons and associated group activities will play an important role in encouraging children to respect themselves, their peers and their local and global environment. By offering opportunities for children to be heard individually as well as collectively at a young age provides a building block for healthy self-esteem and the expression of their thoughts and feelings.

Giving children this validation that their thoughts and feeling matter builds confidence and helps them to develop a sense of self. This helps children to understand their importance in the world and develop a strong belief in them selves and their ability to affect positive change through the choices they make and the responsibility they have and can take for creating and sharing ideas.
