Big Tent Showcase 2025

Children + Confidence + Coping + Resilience

We all play an essential role in nurturing our children’s confidence, resilience, and coping skills. This year’s Showcase focuses on the current challenges faced by our children and emphasises how everyone can contribute to this important community effort. Our presenters include preschool professionals, psychologists, and researchers who will share their valuable insights. They will discuss how The Big Tent Project plays a key role in helping children manage their emotions, approach separation and divorce with kindness, and find support through their ups and downs. We hope you will be able to join us on what will be an inspiring and informative day.
