Sam Avery gives Keynote at Edge Hill Mentor Development Day

It was an honour for our Artistic Director Sam Avery to give the keynote at the annual Edge Hill University Mentor Development Day.

His speech focussed on how humour builds resilience by reframing challenges in our mind, giving us choice and control in our responses.

Laughter is a powerful way of acknowledging that life isn’t perfect. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be joyful, positive, optimistic and filled with wonderful connections.

Thanks to Lorraine Partington and Helen O’Keeffe and the over 100 teachers and educators in attendance!
