Building safe positive relationships.
The Pillars of Strength.
The idea is to develop, introduce and deliver a socially engaging character for younger audiences and primary schools.
To promote and engage with children- teachers – parents and organisations/ partners who we will work alongside with.
This project and programme of work is innovative, engaging, educational way to deliver and deal with subjects such as bullying, knife crime, anti social behaviour, grooming , gangs, county lines, and other conflicts and issues ie mindfulness that can and do arise on a daily basis.
The idea is that Big Dave becomes a cartoon character as well as himself, and are thought of as one. As both characters are a force of good and are inspirational as social champions helping young people with positive pathways and helping them to become role models for their peers.
To be able to draw on information from a new , unique bespoke website (big Dave’s safe station) www.bigdave.online.
This will be delivered as an informative educational, learning platform with the purpose that big Dave becomes every child’s friend.
In a world where we are taught to strive for me and are presented with negative messages and pathways especially around social media outlets , children can have great wants and needs.
To be taught what they have and to be grateful for they receive is a really powerful message .
To quell that negative voice and bring positivity to their beliefs and innermost thoughts.
My award winning work is to assist schools to help deliver on PHSE lessons around the school curriculum, on subjects such as building safe , positive relationships and bringing communities together. Health and well being , mindfulness with respect as its engine , confidence and inner strength will help deliver this early intervention programme to Five plus year olds as big Dave’s buddies.
With an opportunity to earn a community awareness qualification in citizenship.
Aligned with the school curriculum PHSE study insuring to help children develop the knowledge and understanding and social skills on various issues they may encounter now and in the future.
