One of our SaLTs, Lorenzo, shared his experience using -themed activities for his sessions!

“I had the best time having fun and learning with my students. Using the friendship bracelet as my activity, I was able to facilitate many goals such as planning, organisation, and social interaction. At the same time, my students appreciated how calming and nurturing the sessions were — allowing them to just let go and have fun!

At the end of each activity, they got to take home a memento of the amazing work they did in our session!
