Dear parents/ carers, centres & schools,

We have started a series of blogs and exchanges to support families and children learning together at home.from 'Traps & Tenderness': Viviana & Federico

Through these blogs we aim to provide an inspiring resource to families, so that home learning can be an exciting and joyful experience.

The blogs will appear once a week on our website and on social media, and will include some ideas for you and your children to explore at home.

We would like to share experiences of children and families in the blogs and invite you to participate by sending us your photographs, videos, notes from your family explorations. We’d be able to share some of your experiences on our website, blogs and on our social media pages – this will all help build a lively picture of parents and children around the country imaginatively exploring, learning and being together.

We are in an enforced situation, but we can maximise the joy and playfulness and new perspectives which are hidden in our everydays.

Some of the things we anticipate that the explorations will include are:

working with different learning spaces at home (including the kitchen)
materials and imagination
story telling
den building
dressing up
working with children's questions and ideas.

Sightlines Initiative is an organisation working with educators, families and others interested in creative and imaginative approaches to education.

Visual Metaphor Article Count: 3

"Our language is full of metaphor; arguably it comprises metaphor."

We are working on the offering of this new project for 2019.
As educators we can hugely benefit from working to attune ourselves to a way of seeing the world metaphorically. This project is intended to assist us in this. We will also explore new ways in which we can present educational opportunities for children in order to amplify their potentials, to exercise their own competencies in metaphorical expression … Anyone who is a subscribed member can participate, whether or not they are in a Network Group.

You can read much more about the proposal on these pages, and we will be discussing it during our Network Seminar day with Tiziana Filippini in London on November 10th.
Following this, we'll be updating the information, and setting up a Facebook Group for Members who would like to participate. Do email Robin (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) if you/your setting are interested at this stage in participating.

All the best, Robin Duckett, Director, Sightlines Initiative.

Here is a list of articles, references and discussion.
