We had an idea about a year ago, we talked about it in our blog - that if we could create an environment where learning is inevitable - where our brains are in the most receptive state for development and growth, then anything is possible: adults and children learning, playing and developing skills for life together; learning from each other, teaching each other, experimenting with new ways of doing things, new ways of bringing out the best version of themselves. This is a place where we flourish.
We have created Eudaimonics - which is the art and science of flourishing. A year ago it was an idea; and idea that we didn't want to ignore, that we couldn't ignore and we wanted to know if we could make it work, if we could create something that had a lasting impact on the participants; on the schools, businesses and organisations involved and begin to create a community of adults and children who can influence those around them, and each other.
We now have 39 Eudaimaniacs - we would love to have 1 million Eudaimaniacs in the next 10 years. The exciting thing is, we see no reason why that can't happen - we know all we need is vision, passion and connections.
Are you curious? Might you want to know more? Email us at success@twpartnership.co.uk for our Eudopack.
And what did our participants get out of it?
We'll tell you more in the next blog, but here's a taster of what we noticed:
The children were developing skills for life: they found ways to manage their doubtful moments, to be resilient and to communicate with their peers and others at a level that the adults in the group found incredible for children of 10 and 11.
The adults left the programme revitalised, energised and seeing their lives through different eyes. The made some very exciting changes to their lives, which we'll share next time.
We are now getting more feedback from the participants, 3 months after our last time together as a group, and the longer lasting impact is noticeable. Next time we'll tell you just what some of those changes are for both adults and children.
To become a Eudaimaniac, you need to be either in a business, organisation or school - if you're intrigued and want to know more, email us for our Eudopack at success@twpartnership.co.uk.
You too could be flourishing.
