Day 1

Leo Thompson - ’Learning how to learn’ skills will help shape our future

11:30 - 11:55

This presentation will zoom in on educational futures research and link it directly to ‘learning how to learn’ neuroscience, answering the question: what are the mindset and skills that students need to be able to learn independently and most effectively and why? As head of Educational Partnerships at iCanStudy, Leo will share some incredible insights into what is possible to help children and adults thrive.

Day 2
12:00

Leo Thompson - Levelling up with ‘Learning to Learn Skills’

12:00 - 14:00

Following on from Leo’s day 1 presentation, this very practical workshop will apply neuroscience and involve participants in an interactive experience in which they will walk away with new learnings and new skills.
These skills will help participants take their ability to learn to the next level as they begin to integrate it into a metacognitive, self-regulating, experiential, higher-order learning framework which they can use as part of a tool kit for life. Built on the research of gamechangers, iCanStudy, this taster session will leave you wanting to go further down the rabbit hole of powerful learning skills, which can be fully experienced in iCanStudies' training program - already with many complimentary resources on the Internet.
Leo is looking forward to a fun session with his participants on a topic closely aligned with social-emotional learning.
Paired with Ed Dunkelblau & Maurice J. Elias's "Emotionally Intelligent Parenting in difficult times: It's the laughter you're after".
