Enacting change through entertainment: Student wellbeing programs with ongoing impact
Student wellbeing concerns and bullying in schools in Australia are the ever-present elephant in every classroom, playground, principals office and conversation. Here at Action Education, we’ve self-appointed responsibility to shake up the way wellbeing programs connect with kids (and schools), to collectively see better outcomes.
And by better outcomes, we mean happier, more resilient students, satisfied parents and carers and teaching staff with more time to focus on, well, teaching.
Our clever, high-energy parkour and acrobatics performances hold student attention spans – giving us the eyes and listening ears we need to educate on difficult topics. In Backflips Against Bullying, this looks like age appropriate conversations, role plays and resources around bullying, cyberbullying, resilience, empathy, positive relationships and bystander behaviour.
