Belonging highlights the role of arts-based experiences in developing a sense of self.

This podcast is a conversation between the mother of a child and his teacher about nurturing confidence, trust and curiosity.

This podcast is part of Digital Playground. And as part of the series, we have four films and accompanying podcasts that offer a glimpse of the magical work we have been doing with children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Playground’s Specialist Sessions take place in MASH Centres (Multi Agency Specialist Hubs) and Wyvern School and like all Playground activity they are co-created by our artists, the participating children and the adults who care for them.

Each film and accompanying podcast explores a theme that has emerged from sessions that evolved over the course of a year. Explore all of the films and podcasts here.

With thanks to Kent Family Hubs for funding this podcast.
