At Electric Umbrella, we want people to feel confident about their interactions with our members, together with the language they use. And that’s not always easy if you’re not familiar with the right sort of terminology. 

Not only are these exciting and engaging days for students and teachers, but the positive impact on the school, and wider, community can be far reaching and long lasting. 

Recent research has highlighted that Year 9 is a particularly important age group when it comes to EDI education, although we are happy to discuss working with different age groups as well. 

We visit Secondary Schools and Colleges on Tuesdays throughout the academic year.



Our CEO, Mel Boda, said, “The impact our members can make from just one visit is incredible.

“We’re so pleased that, through visiting schools and providing such a positive interaction between the students and our learning disabled community, we can challenge the perceptions students have before they go off into the world and start meeting people beyond their own peer groups. 

“These visits also provide our members with the opportunity to meet new people, express themselves on stage and learn new skills. We’re looking forward to visiting more schools soon.”
