‘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:
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.
‘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 and ages 12-14 years and are accessible for all learning abilities.
