First WOW schools volunteer trained and in school!

Amena Uddin is now taking bookings from schools in Durham for Waterway Workshops

Following the recent Meet & Greet volunteer events our new WOW school volunteer Amena Uddin is now taking bookings from schools in Durham for Waterway Workshops. These half day sessions consist of her delivering the All About Canals presentation on an interactive whiteboard, encouraging the children to Build a Canal in a sandbox and then completing a WOW craft activity. Amena is training to be a primary school teacher and is volunteering one day a week with us to gain essential classroom experience. "I really enjoyed working with British Waterways Education Team as it has given me a valuable insight in working with children. The children were engaged and had a lot of fun . I am much more confident in giving presentations and being aleader as a consequence of under taking this opportunity. The resources were exetremely helpful as they aided the learning process especially the "build a canal" props. Alltogether it has been very rewarding."
