I am really interested in attending your breaking barriers workshop, I just cant make the next one on the 19th May. Do you have any more scheduled for the future?
Hi Tony,
I’m writing from Melbourne, Australia.
I manage a language school for People Seeking Asylum. We are developing a theory of teaching language through the arts – dance, painting, theatre, music, etc, particularly to traumatised people. We have found that students who lack confidence in their ability to learn a new language can gain confidence through art classes which are taught in English.
I know that there are others who share and apply this theory, but it is not currently being used in Australia in any consistent or in-depth way.
I am looking for appropriate organisations to visit in order to gain knowledge of methods being used overseas and bring that knowledge to Australia.
These organisations might not necessarily be language schools for immigrants. They could be any place that applies the theory of learning something through the arts. There are people who teach History through painting classes, for example, or Mathematics though dance classes.
I would be very grateful to be pointed in the direction of anyone who might be able to help.

Also is it a 3 day course?
Thank you.
