‘What’s Your Genius?’ Workshop overview:
Albert Einstein once said, “Everyone is a genius… But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” In our Genius Workshop, students are invited to uncover their unique thinking, learning, and communication styles, which we call their natural ‘Genius’. Through engaging quizzes, challenges, and games, they build confidence in their individual strengths, learn to avoid comparisons with others, understand more about neurodiversity, explore their passions, and appreciate the value of working together.
By fostering self-discovery, appreciating diversity, and promoting collaboration, the ‘What’s Your Genius’ Workshop empowers students to embrace their individuality and gives a vision of how they can use their ‘genius’ to make positive contributions to their communities.
During the Workshop We Explore:
Neurodiversity (dyslexia, ADHD, Autism etc):

The importance of teamwork:

The value of kindness and serving others:
Helping us live more fulfilled and happy lives.
