The Mind Lab teaching method is a unique technique for developing thinking abilities and life skills through games. Over the past decade the Mind Lab method has gained popularity worldwide thanks to specialised training programmes for teachers and educational institutions and a range of educational products and projects. |
The Mind Lab method is deeply rooted in the distinctive concept that games are a powerful experiential tool which contributes to the improvement of thinking skills, deepens awareness of thinking processes and imparts skills which help us better manage our emotional and social world. The game experience which is central to the Mind Lab method, is simultaneously enjoyable, exciting and engaging. As a result the experience inspires and acts as a catalyst for deeper learning. Both the Mind Lab group's accumulative experience and commissioned academic research projects which have assessed the effectiveness of the method, have conclusively proven that the Mind Lab method significantly improves students thinking skills and life competencies.
The Mind Lab Group, which was established in 1994, is the recognised leader in life skills education for children. Each year the group has grown and now operates in over 30 countries throughout the world including the U.S., Spain, Italy, Portugal Hungary, Israel, Japan, Korea, Singapore, India, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Uruguay.The group organises a wide range of programmes such as Mind Lab learning programmes in community centres, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, teacher seminars and certification training, workshops in schools and other educational institutions, experiential parent and child game playing evenings, multicultural programmes, thinking games events and the Mind Lab Olympics.
