Florence Darling is talking about using creative facilitation techniques to work with children and families exploring holiday food and activity clubs. I really love this technique, especially the handy connections activity - "like collaborative thematic analysis in the room". #ASMSHPR2025

In UK schools there's only one way to be a successful student now... and that has led to increased disengagement for many pupils.

Really interesting to hear Chris Bonell talking about his research on toxic education and how schools can sometimes harm young people.

(Also lovely to be reminded of the fantastic work of the late Farah Jamal.)

Really moving watching a video and looking at this zine created by LGBTQIA+ young people about creating safe spaces for physical activity.

Now listening to a really interesting talk on looking at the current "individualistic" framing it gambling harms which fails to acknowledge the unequal harm across communities.

Matt Lenny taking about how alcohol is often a forgotten public health issue and that we have no national alcohol strategy. Why not?

My health inequities lectures often present depressing stats on how inequities are getting worse.

This is a nice local example of how peer support has helped level out breastfeeding inequities in North Somerset.

Anyone got other good local examples?

Not a bad spot for an 8 year old's birthday party! Don't know about the kids but I especially enjoyed playing predator and prey and hiding behind trees! 😆🌳
