More than 300 Bristol students from Years 7, 8, and 9 at King’s Oak Academy recently took part in an engaging and educational workshop aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of alcohol and alcohol abuse.
The workshop was delivered by Collingwood Learning through its innovative and inspiring program Smashed.
The Smashed Project uses a combination of live theatre, video, and interactive workshops to vividly illustrate the real-life consequences of alcohol misuse. Sessions are designed to help students understand the long-term effects alcohol can have on their lives, encouraging them to make informed decisions.
The program is supported by online resources to continue the learning beyond the classroom.
Collingwood Learning, known for using creative and immersive methods to deliver impactful education, says on its website: “When the world inevitably throws out choices, be ready to make an informed one.”
Daniel Jackson, Second in Health & Community Partnerships at King’s Oak Academy, praised the workshop, stating: “This was a great production delivered in a memorable and fun manner. We look forward to hopefully welcoming back Collingwood Learning to deliver more key messages around PSHE in the future.”
The Smashed workshop is part of the academy’s ongoing commitment to ensuring students are well-equipped to make positive and informed choices for their future.
