I’m absolutely thrilled to announce a truly wonderful collaboration … one that’s very close to my heart.
As many of you know, we have a son with Down’s syndrome – which is a genetic condition.
Genetics is a notoriously difficult concept for children to understand and we at International Elf Service have been part of a very exciting collaboration between three leading genetic disability charities to create something really special and meaningful …
Together with the Down’s Syndrome Association, Unique and the Turner Syndrome Support Society (UK), we have created a resource that teaches children about disability, inclusion and genetics in a fun and engaging way– while encouraging understanding and acceptance of people who have a genetic condition.
Launched today, Roots of Fantastical Matters: Extra Magical Humans is an eye-catching ‘Magical Newspaper’, which uses fantastical characters and ideas to convey complex science around DNA, genes and chromosomes, as well as encourage conversation about disability and inclusion in a way which feels accessible and real to children.
It’s designed for schools, professionals and families to explore how our bodies are made … and how difference is not less.
Each organisation has brought its expertise, creativity and lived experience to shape this resource – and it’s been an absolute joy to bring it to life together!
We would love to create more Magical Newspapers, covering a wide variety of topics for children to explore.
Is there a better way to inspire children to learn than through magical storytelling?
