A positive classroom culture in which students work together, respect each other and make mindful choices is what we all strive for. Have you made the space to help this happen?

After experiencing a ropes course at Dragon’s Den yourself, you will have the opportunity to reflect on how this workshop’s activities transfer to your classroom.
