At Home with Satellite

‘At Home with Satellite’ is a fun, online creative program for children across ages 8 – 14 that offers opportunities for sharing stories, creative expression and of course, making connections with new friends!

Using Zoom and in a home environment, the ‘At Home with Satellite’ workshops for children across ages 8 – 14 years are run during school holidays and combine a curated selection of activity-based self-care packs and facilitated conversations to offer:

  • artistic expression, imaginative play, and creative adventures
  • an opportunity to make new friends
  • a chance to share experiences within a facilitated setting
  • to connect with peers who are having similar experiences

“To talk about that stuff with someone who understands, puts you at ease knowing that they understand how you feel. It’s nice being part of Satellite and I thank you for just being really great people.”

How it works

Participants are sent all the creative items they need for the workshop in the post. Then it’s as simple as going online (via Zoom) and joining in the fun.

These are facilitated workshops that use age-appropriate language, and a light approach that meets children at their current level of understanding about mental health and wellbeing.

Parents, carers, or siblings can watch on and use the workshop themes to keep the conversation going and explore them further.

Workshops topics

‘At Home with Satellite’ workshop topics change regularly. They are co-created with young people and are based on their current interests, suggestions, and circumstances.

They are suitable for two different ages groups- ages 8-11 years and ages 12-14 years and are accessible for all learning abilities.

Examples of our workshops:

Creature Comforts

Creature Comforts is all about getting crafty, using your imagination and connecting over real-life superpowers! Join us on Zoom to design and make some wild and wonderous creatures to live in your world.

All Superheroes Wear Masks

At Home with Satellite ‘All Superheroes Wear Masks’ is a workshop that celebrates all the ways we want to see and be seen in this world in a playful, crafty and wildly imaginative way! (ages 8-11 years).

Dream Boards

Meet new friends on Zoom to connect and swap stories with. We’ll create collage dreamboards that reflect our hobbies & interests, hopes for the future and life experiences.

Do You See What I See

Have fun exploring how to use digital photography to capture the world, people, places, and interesting things around you (ages 12-14 years).

Music & Me

Create your own musical instruments and use music, songs, and lyrics to connect with others.

Design It

Using beads, charms, fabric markers and design, we explore symbols and make accessories that you can wear to help you share who you are and what you like!

Ready Steady Balance

“Ready Steady Balance” emphasises self-care and self-compassion. We will use beads, feathers, and paper to create stories on strings – using colours, shapes, words, and pictures to talk about the things that can tangle us up or help us move freely.
