TESTIMONIALS
"It was a brilliant day with a range of attendees from London Borough education teams, Principal Education Psychologists, mission-aligned charities, schools and partner organisations like London Councils. But it was made even more special by having Anna and Tyrone speak so passionately and effectively about the importance of relational practice and creating a strong sense of belonging in schools. Many leads came and spoke to me in the breaks about the value of having educators speaking about the tangible impact of the approaches, and providing practical takeaways that could be immediately implemented in their schools/contexts, that it felt like strong community of cross-sector partners were galvanising around this important issue, and importantly sharing solutions. This is exactly what we had hoped for the sharing practice events."

When the Adults Change
"Anna delivered a dynamic and thought-provoking session on Project Based Learning (PBL) to Bertha Earth's facilitation team. Her excitement and passion for PBL were palpable, creating an energising atmosphere that encouraged curiosity and reflection.
The session got people thinking differently about what's possible when young people are given the tools and trust they need to lead their own learning through meaningful projects.
Facilitators were left with food for thought on how best to support young people in designing and delivering projects that matter to them."
