The event’s presentations came from award winning music artist and Come Outside founder Graft, and Wellspring Academy Trust Chief Education Officer Dave Whitaker.
Graft shared his personal experience of growing up in the city of Leeds, and the ways in which our organisations can shape and guide the next generation of leaders. He also shared an update on a new community project he has founded: Come Outside. The project runs a weekly 5km social walk/run at Oakwood Clock, every Saturday at 9am.
Dave Whitaker spoke about Unconditional Positive Regard, and what it means to implement different core elements of relational practice into behaviour and curriculum strategies in school. Dave has extensive experience with relational behaviour management and shared valuable insights.
