This is the first module of two online workshops with Curious Minds, supporting educators to develop their knowledge of how the human brain learns.

Whether you are delivering an out of hours club or lessons in a classroom, there is an ‘Essential Pedagogy’ that can help you create learning experiences that can support young people to grow in confidence and resilience, as well as deliver the educational and creative outcomes you want to. This essential pedagogy is rooted in the science of learning.

This first module, The Human Brain and How it Learns, explores some simple, useful ‘brain building blocks’ that establish the basics of brain anatomy and learning physiology that will be further explored in the subsequent modules.

The second module, A Mindset for Learning, builds on the previous module to explore how we can build learner motivation, confidence, and resilience by supporting them to develop a mindset that values learning, welcomes challenge and bounces back from failure and setbacks.

As the North West’s Sector Support Organisation, Curious Minds has been listening to its cultural education freelancers and smaller arts organisations. They have described perceived gaps in the knowledge and skills they think they’ll need in order to survive and thrive after the Covid-19 emergency.

In response the team at Curious Minds warmly invites you to this online session in which we’ll consider the features of a compelling funding application.

This session will take place online and be delivered by Dr Steph Hawke, Curious Minds’ Head of External Funding and Policy.
