In a dynamic world where the playful melodies of education harmonise with a professional approach, a magical collaboration unfolded. It all began when Fidel, a gifted musician and devoted SEN teacher, joined forces with Kemi, an enthusiastic specialist educator. Their shared mission to create a holistic learning experience.
Their inspiring journey started with a vision to inspire children through the power of music, movement, and learning. Together, they crafted a project that transformed teaching into an immersive experience. Their mesmerising songs and captivating movements were unveiled to the world through their acclaimed YouTube channel, Fidel and Kemy – Sing. Move. Learn. The impact was immediate, igniting joy and curiosity in the hearts of children.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Kemi drew inspiration from the resilience and creativity of educators who adapted to virtual learning to benefit all pupils. She was particularly amazed by a math tutor who devoted approximately 65 hours per week to tutoring children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Witnessing such dedication, Kemi felt deeply honored to have this person join and lead the SEN Unity CIC today.
In 2022, Kemi’s path intertwined with MetroTennis, an esteemed organisation driven by the same passion for inclusivity. Together, they further elevated their commitment to inclusiveness and made it the heart of their collaboration. Their partnership became a catalyst for empowering children of all abilities, offering them opportunities to thrive in sports, arts, and education.
And now, in the present year of 2023, an extraordinary opportunity beckoned, inspiring a team of dedicated specialists to establish SEN Unity as an independent initiative. Fuelled by an unwavering desire to provide access to tuition, educational clubs, and support for individuals with additional needs, SEN Unity took shape, devoted to enriching lives and breaking down barriers.
Today, SEN Unity proudly stands as a symbol of hope and empowerment, inspiring children to embrace their limitless potential through the power of Sports, Education, and the harmonious melodies of Nada. With a team of passionate educators and specialists, SEN Unity continues to illuminate the path for countless children, nurturing their growth, fostering inclusivity, and infusing joy into every step of their journey.
This is the extraordinary tale of SEN Unity – a story of passion, collaboration, and an unyielding commitment to the holistic development of every child.
