Perbincangan Sukar: Menggunakan Buku Bergambar untuk Topik Sensitif
Talking Tough: Using Picture Books for Touchy Topics
Workshop Far’ain Jaafar, Jumaini Ariff
4-Day Pass OR 1 & 2-Day Pass
Buku bergambar menyediakan pendekatan yang tidak mengancam bagi orang dewasa untuk membantu kanak-kanak memahami emosi yang sukar dan mungkin mengubah hidup, seperti kesedihan, penyakit, kematian, dan banyak lagi. Peserta akan membincangkan kepentingan serta kesan cerita-cerita ini terhadap pembaca muda dan bekerja untuk mengembangkan setiap naratif melalui aktiviti praktikal yang dapat memperkukuh mesej-mesej yang tidak ketara bagi memberi kekuatan serta menyembuhkan.
Picture books present a non-threatening approach for adults to help children unpack tough and possibly life-altering emotions such as emotions, illness, death and many more. Participants will discuss the relevance and the impact these stories have on young readers and work on extending each narrative into hands-on activities that can further anchor the intangible messages to empower and heal.
