Inclusive, Inspirational Workshops - helping learners understand their brains better

The Princess, The Ogre & The Brain
Fiona (from Shrek)– Being Neurodivergent.

The half day workshop for learners aged 6+ explores neurodiversity, empathy, and inclusion through storytelling, discussion, and fun, accessible activities. It’s designed to spark curiosity and compassion, not just awareness.


By the end of this workshop, students will:

  • Understand what neurodiversity means and how it can affect people differently.
  • Explore how it might feel to be neurodivergent using storytelling and imagination.
  • Practice empathy and inclusive thinking.
  • Reflect on how they can be kind, supportive classmates to all types of brains.

Working in Partnership with the following and more...

New Bridge Group

When the leadership team at New Bridge learnt about Gaia Learning they saw the need to support their students with SEMH in a different way.

Our partnership grew to be their virtual school and continues to be a huge hit with their learners.

In Q1 2024 we are supporting the school to build their first nurture space - a hybrid learning environment in a day centre in Oldham, UK where learners from a cross the school and community can come together to take part in online learning sessions delivered remotely.

Ark Alexandra

14yr old S* has been out of the school system for a few years. As part of a mainstream school with an EHCP Sam was struggling to engage with the physical classroom and face to face tuition. The school engaged with Gaia Learning to deliver GCSE’s via 1:1 tuition online.

“I am now hopeful for S’s future and can see the progress he’s making. Every time I read an email from you I can see how much you care, thank you”..

Riverside Education

English, Maths, Science, Functional Skills and Business Studies. Since spring 2022 Gaia Learning have supported this Birmingham AP school to engage the most difficult to reach students.

Whether it’s due to neurodivergence, personal circumstances or SEMH we’ve worked in partnership with the school to support young people through their GCSE’s helping them get onto Apprenticeships and having successes they didn’t think were possible.

Parent view…

"Gaia Learning has been a game-changer for our son. As parents, we were concerned about his struggles with English as an Additional Language and suspected neurodiversity.

Since joining Gaia, he's not only improved his English but also found a nurturing environment that values his unique strengths. We couldn't be happier with his progress and newfound confidence. Thank you, Gaia Learning!"
