Escare Family Support Service was successful in securing funding to run a ‘Play’ workshop as part of Adult Learners Week 2006. Local activity grants are provided by the Dept. of Education and Training.
Adult Learners Week 2006 provides an opportunity for individuals to celebrate their personal learning and for organisations to promote learning opportunities that they provide.
Escare presented a FREE interactive workshop for parents. Occupational therapist, Howard Reddyhough, ran the workshop, which included developmental aspects of play and making toys from recycled items. The main theme of the workshop was that expensive toys are not required to enhance our children’s development.
Escare ran a series of FREE Adult Community Education (ACE) workshops entitled ‘Living Workshops Series’.
Workshops included; ‘Parenting Teenagers and Pre-teens’, ‘Teaching Protective Behaviours’, ‘Parenting… the Primary Years ‘with Claire Franklin, ‘Effective Communication ‘with David Szczecinski, and a number of financial management workshops called ‘Money Matters’.
