This dynamic workshop introduces educators to Six Thinking Hats, a powerful and practical tool for developing students’ critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative decision-making skills.
Participants will explore how each “hat” represents a distinct mode of thinking — from facts and logic to emotions, creativity, and process — and how this framework can be applied across subjects and age groups
By the end of the session, teachers will leave with practical tools and ready-to-use techniques to help their students think more deeply, more flexibly, and more collaboratively.
This workshop is suitable for educators of all phases and subjects who are looking to enrich classroom dialogue and cultivate 21st-century thinking skills.
