Education
In April 2016 we launched our education series. This is education with a difference. It recognises that after traditional PowerPoint training, participants often feel inspired but unsure how to apply what they've learned. Our approach seeks to addresses this gap by focusing on practical resources for action, change or improvement. Participants are given Resource Kits (rather than a PowerPoint presentation) to pull apart and adapt to their needs. This approach is well received by participants. One of the highlights of the Tea Cosy workshops has been mixed participation of service providers and Elders. In every group people engaged beautiful and loved learning from each other.
Feedback on the Tea Cosy workshops has been very positive. Check out the Insulator Cosy page to read the powerful feedback from Elders. The feedback from service providers was also positive:

I had the pleasure to attend a Tea Cosy project workshop in Melbourne recently with Dr Catherine Barrett. Catherine’s warm, intelligent and conversational presentation style enabled the group to be open and creative in their thinking. Discussions were hearty, and covered all manner of issues around ageism and ways to combat it. Excellent day – I came away smiling, having made new friends and with a renewed optimism about my own ageing
[The best things about the workshop was] collaborative discussion and education, sharing knowledge. Creative strategies and ideas that are practical and applicable across multiple service streams within my organisation. Appreciate the opportunity to personalise training experiences – elicited additional insights. Loved the hands on activities.
