Greek Community of Melbourne to celebrate Children’s Week with free workshop

·

The Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) will participate in this year’s Children’s Week celebration, supported by the Victorian Department of Education, running from Sunday, October 19 to Sunday, October 27.

As part of this initiative, GCM Schools will be hosting a free workshop on empathy for children aged 4-8 on Saturday, October 19, at the Greek Centre.

The workshop aims to foster empathy and self-awareness by helping children understand and express their emotions. Participants will engage in a variety of interactive activities, including storytelling, games, and breathing exercises, all focused on emotional awareness and well-being.

“We have prepared this program with a lot of love for children,” Christina Soumi, GCM Schools teacher and workshop coordinator, said.

“We are looking forward to welcoming our little friends for a wonderful experience, including breathing exercises, games, sensory activities, and an inspiring story that will help us connect with our emotions. Learning to understand and express our feelings is crucial for everyone, both children and adults. It’s essential for building harmonious relationships with ourselves and others. By focusing on these skills early on, we can help children grow up to have happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationships,” Ms Soumi added.

Participation in the workshop is free, but registration is required at the following link: https://www.trybooking.com/CSJBS
