Presented by expert facilitators Tammy McLinden (Nook Dance Centre) & Michelle Sowey (The Philosophy Club)
- Tammy believes that dance plays a changing role in life as we develop and grow, but it always provides invaluable lessons that have little to do with pointing our toes. Tammy's extensive dance education has provided her with the benefits of confidence, resilience, receptiveness to feedback, and many wonderful friendships. She now enjoys providing similar opportunities to children in her classes. More information at www.NookDanceCentre.com.au
- Michelle uses a process of collaborative inquiry to ignite children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding. She takes pride in creating playful and intriguing multimedia stimuli that provoke thinking and make philosophical thinking accessible to everyone. Her passion is supporting dialogue in which children really listen and respond to one another, express their views openly and respectfully, and decide for themselves what to believe.
