The Pedagogic Potential of Craftwork

This course is for those who want to expand their understanding of therapeutic crafts and their contributions to human development, along with their inter-relationship to the other fields of practice.

It is open to all staff but especially recommended for Education Health and Care managers, craft tutors, and those engaged with the Practical Skills Therapeutic Education experience for RMT students. It will develop and further explore your use of craftwork as a pedagogic tool to support student behaviours, and facilitate educational and personal development for learners.
