“Excellent speakers which hit the issue on the head.”
“Interesting and informative speakers — passion is very infectious.”
“Good arrangement and organisation of material.”
“The seminar made me aware of issues my children face because I grew up in a different generation. I found it extremely fascinating and inspiring.”

“Informative, passionate, alarming but with a sense of hope.”
“High quality of presenters. Well organised.”
“Really enjoyed all the speakers. The venue was lovely and confortable.”
“The passion of the speakers ignited passion in myself.”

“Multiple speakers — incredible depth! Thanks for all!”
“Intellectually stimulating, great material, great choice of speakers, excellent venue, sticking to time schedule.”
“Issues of sexting, media sexualisation and child psychology were all covered extremely well. I learnt a lot of new things. The actual harm resulting from these issues was well established.”
“Really accessible information – all confirming the fact that we need to take action to protect children in this culture.”

“It was all very good. Such an eye opener.”
“Excellent range of speakers.”
“Well organised – all aspects. Thank you.”
“Great when speakers explored issues at an individual level. Great when speakers reflected on the voices of children.”

“Up to date information – very relevant.”
“Thought provoking – a call for action!”
“The length of each talk was perfect and the content relevant and stimulating.”
“A lot of thought provoking and confronting material.”

“Speakers were sharing experience and reality – not just telling people how it should be. Great balance with the here and now as well as future focus.”
“I really enjoyed listening to like-minded people talk about issues I have been observing but that most people I know don’t seem to identify as issues or care about. I had to argue with my school principal to attend as she felt it was not relevant for primary school teachers. She let me attend only because I paid for the course myself and I’m glad that I did. I’ve learnt a lot.”
“Speakers – all fantastic, so dedicated and passionate. Left feeling very HOPEFUL!”
“The information – empowering.”

“Quality input on such critical issues. I am more equipped to assist staff/parents/students in my school.”
“Very well presented – great information.”
“Presentations were excellent – covered topics comprehensively.”
“Great venue, friendly staff/organisers.”

“Diversity of speakers was excellent. I liked the fact that some speakers chose not to use “modern technology” – this encourages us to just listen and focus on the values and virtues of the speakers, and to sense the depth of their feelings on the topic of which they speak.”
“Passionate speakers and interesting topics, humour.”
“Very relevant information. Very practical examples and suggestions for what to do. Talks were conducted by people within the field and knowledgeable expertise.”
“Fabulous up to date research and information. Excellent speakers and big picture perspectives.”
“Relevant, punchy with a necessary dash of humour.”

ALL of the speakers. Got something different from each speaker but they were all connected – a simply EXCELLENT day!
