Featuring 'A Cronx Tale'

An opportunity to preview part of 'A Cronx Tale', an 'unapologetically hard-hitting 18 minute animation' supporting young people who may be vulnerable to becoming involved with gangs and crime, to consider their options, and choose a better path.

CourseWeDo is delighted to host a presentation from staff from long established youth charity the Croydon Drop-In, in a part of London where these issues affect far too many young people, including some of those who have been in care or have already experienced adverse childhood experiences.

We will hear from film writer/director Chardine Makaveli-Singh, herself an outreach worker in Croydon, and Clinton Waller, the CDI Outreach Manager with long experience of supporting young people

This film includes swearing and reference to violence: we encourage those viewing the film to seek appropriate support if they find themselves triggered by the content

This is a unique opportunity to spend time with Dr Heather Geddes who has spent her working life enabling children and young people settle to learn, especially those whose attachment difficulties and experience of extremely difficult early lives first moved her to focus on their predicament and challenges. B.A.S.E.® Babywatching programme creates unique experiences for whole classes, whilst also embracing and supporting the journey of each unique pupil. This deceptively simple programme creates conscious and subconscious links for individual children and groups, because the atmosphere it creates that has a huge impact. Children (and adults) are engaged and drawn in by the process: it provides opportunities for sustained shared watching, talking. listening, and critical thinking; and it provides focus on the development of relationships through attunement and empathy. In gentle, unobtrusive ways, the B.A.S.E.® Babywatching programme enhances pupils and community experience and capacity in a lasting manner.
