You Can Sit With Me: Five Simple Words Which Can Change Little Lives
Promoting kind and inclusive education
The YOU CAN SIT WITH ME program was founded in 2015 by global educator Sophie Sparks. Through her teaching work she became aware and deeply concerned about children suffering from non-inclusive behaviour, bullying, anxiety, depression and loneliness as a result of feeling isolated.
YOU CAN SIT WITH ME is an inclusive community and education program implemented by schools, sporting clubs and community groups. YOU CAN SIT WITH ME is a highly visible yellow wristband with a life changing message worn by students with a life changing message.
YOU CAN SIT WITH ME welcomes children to sit or learn together, regardless of their age, race, religion, gender or disability.
YOU CAN SIT WITH ME amplifies it’s wellbeing message through the development of literacy programs for First Nation, marginalised, migrant and struggling children to close the literacy gap.
