Join us for a free workshop where we will share practical ideas that will enable you to engage families with chemistry concepts using storytelling techniques.

The workshop will provide you with
– a simple definition of chemistry with the families they work with.
– the confidence to identify chemistry concepts in children’s stories and have the language to explain them to families.
– the skills to bring chemistry concepts to life through sensory storytelling techniques.
– an understanding of the practicalities and barriers of delivering to families with children aged between 4-7 and how to address them.
– practical ways to boost audience engagement when delivering online or face to face.
– ideas on how to share storytelling techniques with families so parents/ carers can embed chemistry concepts when reading stories with their own children.
– the opportunity to network and share ideas with practitioners working with families and chemistry professionals.
