Children are creative, open-minded and so much fun to work with! Spark their curiosity, boost their confidence and they’ll give purpose, reward and hope to everything you do. Based on my experiences over fifteen years working with children and researchers, I've put together 3 of the strategies I find most effective, that you can start using straight away to engage and inspire all the children you're working with and give you a truly rewarding experience. |
Testimonials
"Amanda is a very experienced and knowledgeable outreach practitioner, and she has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Amanda delivered ‘Effective Outreach with Children’, a three-day course for postgraduate researchers at the University of Sheffield. The content of the course was perfectly pitched and Amanda gave her own unique insights and tips to our researchers that significantly improved their practice. Seeing our researchers go from never having delivered outreach to becoming confident and enthusiastic facilitators was fantastic. We have had glowing feedback from the researchers who took part, especially regarding the opportunities Amanda arranged for them to work directly with children as part of the course. I would wholeheartedly recommend Amanda’s programmes and look forward to working with her again!"
