Our brains are wired to forget, so how can we help our students remember better? In this

session, we’ll dive into the connection between emotions and memory. Emotions have a

huge impact on how we take in, store, and recall information, which makes them key to

learning. We’ll talk about how tapping into students’ emotions and being more mindful in

the classroom can boost their memory, and how small adjustments can lead to lasting

results.

Invite me to your world, tell me what you think and how you feel, explain your intentions, values and beliefs. I will show you mine. Let us paint our reality in full colour, discover its beauty in each unique mosaic. There is no one template to see each other's mind. The mind is a temple... Do you agree with the notion that interpersonal communication can be quite complex, therefore we should always be mindful of others, compassionate and empathetic in our daily interactions? When in class, we also come across the phenomenon of diversity; while working with different minds, we deal with neurodiversity. If you feel intrigued and wish to know more about learning differences and common associated conditions, explore the theory of mind, the double empathy problem between neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals to better navigate the interplay and to bridge possible gaps, join us on Saturday, April 5th, 2025, in a live webinar with a teacher trainer and neurodiversity specialist - Anna Machura. Don't miss out, save the date and share your experiences with us on the day. Neurodiversity is to be celebrated, not ignored. P.S. Get ready to talk about the mosaic of your mind too. See you!

responsibility, and awareness of our impact on others. By exploring the three foundational

In the EFL classroom, the fear of making mistakes can silence even the most capable learners. When students feel judged by peers, the teacher, or themselves, their willingness to take risks and experiment with language quickly fades. In this webinar, we will explore how to create a non-judgmental learning space where curiosity outweighs fear. We will also look at practical techniques for fostering trust, building emotional safety, and encouraging authentic communication. Together, we will explore ideas to encourage our students to speak up, get involved, and see challenges as a natural part of the learning process.
