Why book a workshop?
Our online school workshops help children and staff to understand what it’s like to have eczema and how we can all support each other. The workshop can also help a child with eczema to engage more with their treatments.
How are they delivered?
The school is sent a link to a recording of the workshop. Full instructions are sent alongside the video. The teacher is instructed to pause the video at points for a discussion or an exercise.

What is covered during a workshop?
Our junior workshop is for younger children in preschool and early years of primary. We have a more advanced workshop for older primary children. Both workshops are fun and interactive. They include a range of activities that help children understand what it’s like to have eczema and what can help. They also encourage children to recognise and celebrate difference.Â
Junior Workshops
The wonderful Itchysaurus book is read during our Junior version. This book has captured the imagination of many of our younger members.
Senior Workshops
Older children have the opportunity to experiment with moisture meters and see if emollients really do work! The moisture meters are posted out to the school once the date for the workshop is confirmed.
