A practical workshop is usually when part way through a presentation & they will pause the powerpoint and get the people in the audience to join in with an activity. Something related to the powerpoint. For instance if they are showing a powerpoint on working on literacy they might take a break and ask you to get in a group of say 4 people and complete a literacy activity relating to their powerpoint. For instance - act out a well known fairy tale and the other groups guess which one it is.

Hope this makes sense!

thanks alot really appreciate you r answer

do you have any ideas on what workshop I could do for 'the critical role of early childhood education with children living in poverty'?

THanks again for your answer it really helped clear things.

Maybe you could get groups to brainstorm what effects poverty could have on a child's education and then share them as whole group. Or brainstorm how ECE could help parents of children in poverty (Ie invite health professionals in /canteen people to talk about cheap healthy lunches)

I think maybe working out ways to involve the parents could be a good one as parents in poverty may not realise the importance of ECE. Groups could work out ways to involve families (sausage sizzles/information days/etc.

Another one would be to list the resources/ways they can think of that a child in poverty could benefit from by attending ECE. (books/educational toys/stability etc)

Hope this helps
