We've got a generational rivalry going on in the SLS team. It's all facts (no cap)-but which tactic actually makes you want to put down your avocado toast or get off TikTok for long enough to book one of our workshops? 🤔

👍Like = Millennial version
❤ Love = Gen Z version
😂Haha = I'm old and I don't know what these words mean

Reading by stealth... We decided that the children participating in our "Outstandingly Happy Library Project" should have a book to lean on instead of a clipboard... And our cunning plan worked because we saw more than half of the children reading their "clipboard substitute" and chatting to the people next to them about it. ❤️ Sometimes, little things can make a big difference! We're all set up to try it again tomorrow! 📖📖
