Our Supported Learning students recently enjoyed a visit to Islandmagee Riding Centre as part of our new equine therapy programme in partnership 🐴

Our students learned about health and safety, horse care, riding techniques and communicating with the horses. They gained valuable hands on experience through grooming, stable management and mucking - out.

Not only was this an amazing experience for our learners, they also developed their confidence, communication and team work skills along the way, in a supportive and engaging environment.
Thank you to Islandmagee Riding Centre for working with us to tailor and provide this experience for our students. 💙

We are all looking forward to our future visits to the Riding Centre and seeing this fantastic programme develop!

Learning happens everywhere 🌍

This week, Belfast Met joined the preparations for Festival of Play at Stranmillis, exploring how creativity, curiosity and play can support learning and development.

It was fantastic to engage with student teachers, as they participate in the latest CDIT Digital Skills Academy delivered by education professionals, while showcasing the importance of innovative and inclusive approaches to learning.

Because learning isn't just about what we know, it's about how we inspire others to learn ✨💡
