In an ever changing world, the ability to make wise choices and decisions ranks high in importance, due to the complexity of experiences our young minds are exposed to. Their world is one of contradictions and apparent opposites… difference in values between the home and the outside world can cloud impressionable minds; clarity may fade away.

The workshop “Tic-Tac-Toe” brings structure into the decision making process and enables children to have a tool to think clearly and choose well thought out options, rather than follow a trial and error method.

 The workshop,  based on the 6 Thinking Hats of Edward de Bono andMind maps of Tony Buzan, offers an exposure to the tools, with hands on practice. The sessions are spread over 3 days and conducted in informal activity style. Ample opportunities for interaction and self expression will be provided.

In the workshop children: 

• Understand the tools at a basic level
• Practice exercises in using the tools
• Work out real life situations using the tools
• Apply what they have learnt in their daily life
• Work in teams and respect other points of view
• Become able to confidently express themselves.
