Second workshop on Inclusive Learning and Play

Phensem PSGB held its second series of Workshop on Inclusive Learning and Play supported by the Rotary Club Thimphu – Workshop 2: Inclusive Play and Adapted Physical Education. 29 participants comprising of parents, teachers and SEN Aides from partner schools attended the Workshop. The Workshop was very interactive and engaging for the participants where they learnt about how plays can be adapted to engage all children and how learning can take place through play especially for children with disabilities at home and in schools.

International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Phensem observed the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) today with a slightly different approach to fulfill the purpose and align with the theme “Transformative solutions and Innovation”. We chose to provide our guests with the opportunity to form teams that include our children with diverse disabilities and their caregivers to carry out activities where every member of the team was included in terms of equitable participation.

The guests got to interact with the children and their families and see and experience the world of possibilities through inclusive play and activities.

First workshop on Inclusive Learning and Play

Phensem PSGB with the support from Rotary Club, Thimphu held the first series of its one-day Workshop on Inclusive Learning and Play – Workshop 1: Behaviour Management and Positive Reinforcement. A total of 34 participants (parents, teachers and SEN Aides) attended from partner schools.

The Workshop is part of the series of four Workshops which focuses on four important domains that have been identified in the field of inclusive education and disabilities and is targeted at teachers, teacher assistants (SEN Aides) and parents so that it provides them with knowledge and skills to help support children with disabilities in productive learning in schools, homes and institutions. The training aims to provide learning opportunities in the community for children with disabilities and thereby provide a meaningful and productive life.
