"The Wall of Brain"

Can we help our brains grow? What is a fixed and what a growth mindset? After having read, researched, discussed done questionnaires and come to serious conclusions about the power of the brain we managed to bring our brainpower together and create posters for the "Wall of Brain". 

Yes, we can (almost) all agree that the brain has the power to grow, change and help us succeed in anything we choose to do. It takes hard work and there is challenge and effort involved of course but it's all worth it in the end. The video below shows our work for the creation of Growth Brain Posters....

Education with a difference: A.S. Neill - Founder of Summerhill School (1964)

Last week's discussion topic was education. It all started with a brief introduction to Summerhill and its democratic views on educating children and continued with brainstorming and collecting ideas concerning the Greek educational system, its advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, we almost all agreed that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits and next week will try to suggest ways with which we might improve things (even if just in theory). On the Project Pages there are some very interesting ideas on the "Ideal School" as well as some research on other educational systems ("Education Abroad") all projects by ex-Anavryters. They are worth having a look at before we start working on our own projects...soon to be announced!
