Enrichment Activity for Navigating Obstacles

Can you imagine how you play a game of football without sight?

In this inspiring session, Darren uses the Paralympic sport of blind football to show pupils how to achieve the impossible. With trust, communication and teamwork, they surprise themselves that they can orientate and navigate whilst wearing a blindfold.

As a facilitator, his workshops show pupils that struggle with frustration, disappointment, and anger, how to manage their emotions . With a master’s degree in health psychology, he is also the perfect person to give students the tools to build resilience so they don’t give up when things get tough.

If you want to raise awareness of sport, health, or inclusion, this workshop can be delivered to a specific year group or whole school,
