Action Duchenne Science on Tour Team visit Ashford School
A new addition to this years’ Science on Tour is our school visits, part of our ongoing mission to improve understanding and advocacy of DMD and disabilities. Our school tours aim to help children think about disabilities and how they can help support their peers with DMD.
We were fortunate to have been invited to deliver our first talk to the year 3 and 4 children at Ashfold School on the 12th of June, where the children learned all about disabilities and how to be supportive friends to everyone, especially those with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
These superstar students were brimming with enthusiasm and questions, and we dove headfirst into the world of disabilities. We talked about different types of disabilities, how they might affect someone’s day-to-day life, and most importantly, how we can all be super-inclusive classmates and friends.
Ashfold school were fantastic with supporting our talk and helping us deliver engaging activities for the children, making the event as fun and interactive as possible.
We would like to say a massive thank you to all those who joined us at our Science on Tour events in Oxford. Together, we can learn, grow, and support each other in the fight against DMD.
We’d love to come to your school – you can help us increase awareness and understanding. Get in touch on info@actionduchenne.org!
