The choice is yours:
All our proven live seminars are also available as customized school seminars – adapted to the type of school, grade levels, and current challenges of your school.

🧠 Brain-Friendly Learning and Teaching

What the brain really needs – and how schools benefit

When does a person learn most effectively?
And why does learning often fail not because of willingness, but because of the method?

Current findings from brain research and learning psychology clearly show:
Learning works particularly well when it is brain-friendly, emotionally engaging, and meaningfully structured.

In this seminar, teachers gain an understandable insight into central learning principles – including topics such as motivation, attention, repetition, and meaning.
Insights from the work of Vera F. Birkenbihl are incorporated, as are many years of practical experience from schools and further education.

Your Benefit:

• Greater understanding of learning processes in children & adolescents

• Concrete starting points for effective teaching

• Relief through methods that simplify rather than complicate learning

📌 Ideal as a pedagogical introduction or common basis for a faculty.

🎲 Playful Learning with Speedolino & Co.

Why learning sometimes needs to get started playfully

No one would expect peak performance in sports without a warm-up –
so why in the classroom?

This seminar shows how playful elements can be used specifically to activate concentration, motivation, and willingness to learn – without " infantilizing" the lesson.

With the developed learning games Speedolino Classic, Speedolino ALMUT, and the Speedolino Lernrallye, both hemispheres of the brain can be activated, and learning processes can be prepared, deepened, or consolidated.

Participants:

• get hands-on experience with the games

• experience the effect on attention & memory themselves

• receive many ideas for use in different subjects and age groups

📌 Particularly suitable for lively lessons, learning support, and substitute teaching concepts.

Price: upon request
📩 We would be happy to advise you on the appropriate implementation at your school.

🖍 Visualization Techniques in the Classroom

Visually prepared learning material is stored much more sustainably –
regardless of alleged "learning types".

In this practical training, teachers learn effective visualization techniques, including:

• Mindmapping & Speedmindmapping

• Memoflips, KAWA, KAGA

• Combination with the ALMUT memory technique

🎯 Training Goals

Participants:

• create creative and clear learning overviews
