HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR BRAIN?
Creating Young Leaders
Over 8 – 12 weeks, our Young Leaders Programme supports young people aged 10 – 25 to explore the brain, body, thoughts and behaviours whilst also developing their digital, creative and media skills.
Backed by science, designed by our expert team in collaboration with young people and delivered through play-based interactive teaching methods, the programme supports young people to learn about themselves whilst giving them the confidence to support their peers.
WE WORK WITH THESE AMAZING ORGANISATIONS…
#gamesforbrains
We believe in the power of play as a tool to enhance learning for people of all ages. Which is why all of our programmes and games are built on the foundations of learning and fun, with play at the heart of all we do.
We create games that support people of all ages to understand how their brain, body, thoughts and emotions are connected.
WE usE fun, laughter & play to ensure THAT
EVERY CHILD AND YOUNG PERSON
Understands the power of their brain
Has a safe space to learn about themselves and their mental health in a modern world
Has the confidence to support other young people around mental health and wellbeing
WHAT OUR YOUNG LEADERS ARE SAYING…
“I know what the Cerebellum is and what a Neuron is!”
“After the first session I just felt like I’d been here for years. I felt like we were a team and we could conquer anything.”
“I feel like it has had a profoundly positive impact on my life and I like the open environment that it creates for people to talk about their issues and mental health.“
“It teaches you about how to be more considerate about others.“
