About the Atlas of a Child’s Mind programme

Working with children and young people can be at times equated to starting on a journey without being told where you’re actually going. We may feel excited and curious and even reluctant but like all journeys a map to help you to identify where you are heading can help you adopt a positive attitude to your journey, but it doesn’t mean you’ll know what will happen on this journey. This programme aims to be your map. We use power point, video and role play, ensuring our programmes encompass the VAK principle of learning - visual, auditory and kinaesthetic.
