The benefits of online communities
Online communities are an essential, valuable, and unavoidable part of growing up. Young people are able to interact with others from across the globe instantaneously and create connections that they once were unable to. Where once it may have taken a lifetime to find your people, now they are just a few clicks away.
Below are just some of the benefits of online communities.
Increase knowledge
Widen their knowledge of their special interests by having dialogue with experts in that field.
Improve skills
Develop their decision making and communication, overcoming virtual challenges but gaining real life skills.
Offer options for support
Give access to someone to talk to, without fear of it affecting things at school or at home.

Our wellbeing advent calendars provide an opportunity for your pupils to learn different activities that will help them look after their mental health in the lead up to the winter break. We've also included one for staff as we recognise how important it is for you to look after your wellbeing too!
Our new 2024 calendars run from 25 November to 13 December. But feel free to adapt them to suit your school!
