Empowerment, Confidence and Being Me: Online Workshop

Last night we held the 'Empowerment, Confidence and Being Me' workshop online.

Youngsters joined and participated from across the UK, from Essex to Glasgow.

We looked at what empowerment and confidence looks like to each individual, and what it means to be YOU - including our greatest achievements, how we felt in those moments and how we can transfer these emotions, skills and feeling of empowerment into our lives.

"My achievement is finding work. The skills I got from doing public speaking, raising awareness and educating others, and routine. The fact that I am adaptable helped as it was all during the first UK lockdown".

"I am a blogger, author and filmmaker. I'm really creative and I love telling stories that help people understand what it's like to be disabled".

"Getting through school. The skills were asking for help, telling people when I was upset, taking breaks, talking to others, like my friend M, and also on Chit & Chat with E, and also time management".

"Passing my Science exam, I was really proud of the grade I got. Time management was the skill that got me there and my adaptation".

More workshops will be announced soon.
