Addressing Critical Issues
Our workshops tackle key topics in line with the national agenda for child welfare and public health. With 20% of children in the UK reporting some form of bullying in 2019, it’s more important than ever to address this critical issue. By nurturing empathy, consideration, and reflection in our young people, we can reduce bullying and improve the quality of life for all.
Your students will participate in a high-impact experience that will resonate with them for years to come. Our world-class athlete will inspire and motivate students to embrace resilience, self-esteem, and positive values. The workshop will take place in a positive environment, allowing students to be comfortable with themselves and their peers.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to enhance your students’ wellbeing and development. Contact us today to learn more about how Sports For Champions UK (CIC) can support you in helping your pupils in reaching their full potential.
