TT1819 Cultural Catalogue

PRIMARY, SECONDARY, POST-16 & SEN OFFERS
Participants learn transferable skills including:
• Building confidence in public speaking, team work and
networking
• Literacy (i.e. rhyme, multi syllabic patterns, and poetry
techniques)
• Numeracy (i.e. choreography & beat counting)
• Creativity and self-expression
Learning Outcomes
Specific skills can be acquired if a workshop is focused on
a section of the curriculum (i.e. Music, Dance).
The GCSE Dance syllabus contains the Boy Blue piece
that Breakin’ Convention premiered; this can be used to
enrich the module through working alongside our
practitioners who are familiar with, or have participated
in, the piece themselves.
Workshops can also be used to engage some young
people who may not be naturally enthusiastic learners or
lack the skills to work well with others.
Teacher Commitment & Training
We require teacher’s direct correspondence. They must
state their timings of the school day and present a range
of dates that they can accommodate, so we can confirm
a practitioner’s availability.
Teachers should select the participants for the workshop
and inform the young people that it is happening, perhaps
in an assembly.
Young people will share or present what they have
learnt or created during the workshop. This can also be
part of a bigger showcase in the school.

Other Resources/Support

pieces further, Breakin’ Convention run events and
festivals throughout the year which can be a platform
for a performance should they want to participate.
