Event description
These workshops will:

- take the view that transitions cannot be the same old same old but need to be new, co-designed, co-developed and co-delivered with young people
- challenge you to think differently about how transition occurs. Partnering with schools, community and families all under the direction of the young person, so that they can and do create citizenship
- explore how different conversations with young people are having vastly different outcomes and how working with community is creating amazingly different opportunities
- be of interest to all those organisations and secondary schools who work with young people with disabilities to achieve successful transitions.
