European Union projects
The education team is currently working with a number of partners across Europe delivering the following projects.
Storymakers: Many Voices Many Lives
The Storymakers project is using the power of story-making and storytelling to equip young people with resilience, confidence, self-esteem and life skills. This project is working with educational professionals and socially excluded young people. The ultimate benefits will be the creation of a portal with free access to resources and training for those working with young people.
WCO (Who Conducts the Orchestra)
A primary schools project, with the aim to encourage good relationships between families and education staff. The project follows the 'Four Fundamentals' established by project leaders – these are: Morality, Self-control, Environment and Relationships. LBHF was responsible for handbook production which comprises research, evaluation, training materials and a toolkit for teachers and education staff. This enables primary schools to have free access to high quality materials that will aid good family-school relationships.
VRAA (Social Inclusion of People with Autism Spectrum Syndrome through Virtual Reality)
This project uses virtual reality equipment to prepare young people on the autistic spectrum for the world of employment. LBHF led on evaluation and participated in the development and testing of materials with key focus groups. The project aims to support young people with ASD to navigate and access the world of work.
