WHAT IS BRILLIANT MINDS?
Brilliant Minds has evolved for the SuperKids programme which was launched in 2011 and it provides children (aged between 7-11 years) a set of really easy to learn and understand tools, tips, exercises and strategies for them to boost their confidence, brain power and to improve their general well being.
Brilliant Minds combines some brain skills techniques with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), basic brain science and learning strategies.
The Brilliant Minds courses are held either during school holidays, as an after school club or at weekends and here children learn some great new skills they don’t get to learn anywhere else.
The courses and fun, lively and interactive with lots of opportunity to try out new skills, create things and take part in various activities and games.
