Undertaking a small project looking to identify some examples of best practice. 

Has anyone examples of engaging fathers in family learning projects. Especially projects targeted at fathers.

hi Elaine

Colleagues and I have been running a Saturday group called Dads and Bairns here in Dundee. We have run 2 blocks of 6 weeks in 2 different areas of Dundee and this has involved free play, outdoor play, a craft, story time and a wee bit of singing and more. Also provided tea and toast. We have so far engaged with 14 dads. Please get in touch anytime if you'd like more info

best regards

Catriona
