Nikki Roberts creator and designer of the ‘I AM ‘ Programme (integrating Art and Mindfulness) working with the 5th and 6th class to create a platform for children to become empowered and enable participants to be aware of the importance of self management, self-control and self-soothing in order to function within their homes, schools, local communities and wider communities.
The programme can be implemented in all areas of the participant’s life. It is an investment of time, emotional, physical and mental wellbeing. Guided by Nikki the children worked in groups looking at boundaries, self-worth, self-esteem, respect, transitioning to secondary school and accountability. Themes such as teamwork, the power of words, kindness etc were explored. Each child created a personal ‘Wellbeing Journal’ that they can add to or refer to in the years ahead.
