The word "POMODORO" in bold, white letters on a yellow to orange gradient background, with several red tomatoes.

How can tomatoes make you more organised? 🤔🍅

The Pomodoro Method is a tool our Trailblazers pick up in our Organisation unit.

But what is it?

1️⃣Focus on a task for 25 minutes
2️⃣Take a 5 minute break
3️⃣Repeat

It helps you to stay focused, yet allows you to recharge - just avoid doomscrolling!

A tool that Gen+ students learn & can be applied at any age. The Three Rs; great for #BackToSchool or a summer declutter.

What are the Three Rs?
1️⃣Required: things you need
2️⃣Recharge: things or activities that help you do your best
3️⃣Redundant: things or activities that don't help & you don't need

Young people participating in our Gen+ Programme appreciate that #MetaSkills don't need to work alone, and when we combine them it develops us even further 🧠⚡

Sometimes using your #initiative is finding new ways to entertain yourself when your beachball finds it's way into the jaws of an overenthusiastic Spaniel...

With a solid foundation of #metaskills learning (like thru the Gen+ programme 👀), spontaneous situations are far easier to manage.

Absolutely! 🤭

It's World Youth Skills Day #WYSD, and we're celebrating the potential of our young people! Oh wait...👀🤭

At Gen+, every day is #WYSD!

Developing key #metaskills empowers young people to face uncertainty, lead confidently and shape careers in an ever-changing world.

What's on your #PowerJamPlaylist? 🎶

If you've taught our #Innovator programme, you'll be familiar with this lesson - but we wanted to find out what some of our team members would have saved as their Power Jams.

What tracks are we missing? 🤔

💡Gen+ Top Tip
➡️ The programme can be done in a 'mix & match' style, so why not involve students by allowing them to create a bespoke course?

We were delighted to support Merrylee Primary School pupils on their #metaskills assembly.

Our Director of Education, worked with learners to create a presentation on the skills they've developed, and Meta-Skills Leaders shared this with P1-7.

Good job! ⭐
