Student-led activity

We want children to have a basic understanding of nutrition and to know why it's important to make healthy choices now and how it will help to prevent disease in the future. We appreciate not every child has the opportunity to learn about healthy food at home and there is little time to squeeze it into school curriculums. Through examples and demonstrations, this workshop provides them with the fundamentals of living healthily, how they can achieve this and give them the tools to talk to their families and make healthy decisions.

Headucate is passionate about raising awareness of mental health - their aim is to stamp out stigma, to tackle discrimination and to provide effective signposting to help and support. These workshops are developed by qualified Mental Health First Aiders to strengthen mental health awareness within schools. They're a safe space to open up discussions about mental health, promote awareness and wellbeing. The workshop can be delivered to a class or year group at a time, either online or face-to-face.

This workshop is a taster to British Sign Language (BSL), offering an introduction to some basic signs such as the alphabet, hello, good morning/afternoon/evening and how are you? Activities and games will be included to practice what is taught in the session and demonstrate what it is like communicating without using speech, activities may include: hangman, telephone, guess the sign and Pictionary. Students should come away from the workshop feeling more confident about communicating with others and be able to introduce themselves in BSL.

We are very lucky to have many local consultant surgeons collaborating with us, to give talks about their careers, succeeding in medical school and life as a surgeon. We also have a session run by current medical students teaching some basic surgical skills, and a Q+A session at the end.

Our aim is for participants to leave feeling more inspired and confident in pursuing a career in medicine or surgery, enhance their CV, and enjoy the day!

Love Your Leo is a workshop that explores the impact of body image and mental health in sport, demonstrating that it is not just physical strength you need but also mental strength. This workshop can include a physical activity depending on the space available. Alternatively, it can be delivered as an interactive talk.

Every March, UEA Ballet run the Love Your Leo campaign to promote body positivity and tackle the stigma of eating disorders in sport.
