If you are not a member of EOS already, you can join us for free here.

Share the information below with your school. If they are happy to proceed, then request a workshop using this link.

Once we receive your request, we will get in touch with the school to get the ball rolling and we’ll keep you updated on progress.

Your school can opt for a live or pre-recorded workshop. For members, we recommend the live workshop, if possible. 

They can be booked a term or so ahead if your school calendar is looking busy this term!

Don’t forget to use our school resources with your school too!

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?

We have two formats for the workshop, live delivery or pre-recorded.  

Live workshops 

These are delivered by one of our school workers over Microsoft Teams at a pre-arranged date/time. A camera and mic is required for this version so that the presenter can see and hear the children.  

Pre-recorded workshops 

Some schools may prefer the pre-recorded version. It’s a good option if there isn’t the technology required for the live one or if there is a waiting list for a live workshop. The teacher is sent a link to the recording along with instructions for the activities.

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. 

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 in advance for both the live and pre-recorded workshops.
