Workshops in Kuwait’s special needs schools

Through Consort Kuwait we ran a series of assistive technology workshops in special needs schools, with Al Sayer Group opening doors as part of its corporate social responsibility programme.

  • At CESK we presented a Coding for All robot and communication kit.
  • At CCIS we showed the difference assistive technology makes to children with special needs.
  • Al Sayer Group introduced us to Hope School and Ideal School, where we ran workshops for staff.

ALS Awareness Month: A Life Story

Through our “A Life Story” campaign we shared stories of people facing ALS with determination, and information on the tools that can help people with ALS, their families and carers in daily life.

Grid 3 set-up webinar

We ran a free step-by-step webinar on installing and configuring Grid 3, including device compatibility and customisation.

GEMS Metropole Inclusion and Safeguarding Conference

We took part in the GEMS Metropole Inclusion and Safeguarding Conference, which brought together people committed to inclusive, safe schools that value every learner.
