A new arts-based learning SEND network for Lewisham and neighbours

A new arts-based learning SEND network for Lewisham and neighbours.

As part of the legacy of the Moving Stories project (Moving Stories: Embedding Dance and Drama in SEND teacher practice - LEAN) Lewisham Education Arts Network is setting this network up to support and develop arts practice for SEND teachers & support staff. This will meet termly to offer both skills training from artists and opportunities for practice-sharing and collaboration. Sessions will focus on drama, dance & visual arts as music is covered by Lewisham Music. Sessions will be chaired by Molly Bertrand, Assistant Head, Watergate School.

Topic for the Second session:

• Share plans & ideas for supporting your curriculum through the arts
• Hear from Greenvale School’s work with Shakespeare in Schools both live in person and via film
• Hear from LEAN about SEND offers from Lewisham’s arts organisations

This follows on from March’s successful launch meeting where 11 SEND staff attended a session on using drama techniques delivered by Peoplescape Theatre. We plan to alternate charging (artist-led) with free (peer-led practice sharing sessions) termly.

Autumn’s meeting will be on the theme of using movement to regulate emotions delivered by Dance artists from Trinity Laban (date tbc).
