Course Description

This 5-day course explores the principles of neuroscience and their application to teaching and learning, with a focus on neurodiversity and inclusive practices. Participants will learn about the brain’s structure, functions, and processes that influence learning, including neuroplasticity, memory, attention, and motivation.

The program also highlights the role of emotions and social interactions in education, offering strategies to create supportive and engaging learning environments. Each day features interactive activities, group discussions, and practical exercises to help participants apply neuroscience insights to their teaching practices.

By the end of the course, educators will have a clear understanding of how to integrate neuroscience concepts into curricula, foster student engagement, and support diverse learners effectively.
