A taste of our education services

Event: "My brain and I: Cerebral passions"

To wrap up an amazing year, we participated in an open event for the youth in Medellín with the support of our partner, the GNA.

We organized an activity circuit to motivate curiosity about the human brain and emotions. We greeted more than 80 participants!

One of our facilitators led an activity for every assistant to plant a small vegetable garden following the principles of companion planting. They learned how plants are able to work as a team, how they enhance each other's strengths, and how a crop must be cared for to bear fruit. Finally, participants shared ideas about how gardening is similar to the daily exercise of nurturing our brains.

Our third group of 2022 also led an activity! They were inspired by one of the games we played, which they turned into a social experiment that brought laughter to the audience. Their goal was to challenge the audience on unconscious stereotypes and emotional responses. They definitely leveled the game up!

Some of the accompanying adults were also involved in an activity specially designed for them. One of our facilitators invited them to recall their childhood with smells, flavors and drawings to discuss what kind of footprint we want to leave in our children.
