The following training programmes and workshops, have been those most frequently requested. They do not represent the only programmes HME deliver.

Understanding Potential

Lawyers have been known to say that one of their most frightening responsibilities is to have to defend a truly innocent man. Similarly teachers not seeing potential in a student can mean a wasted life. The responsibility placed on teacher's shoulders is huge. How is that potential found? How does it manifest itself and what can teachers do to help a student realise their potential even if they are disruptive, withdrawn or struggling. Too often teachers allow social, emotional or cultural influences cloud their judgements whyen it comes to seeing the potential in others, This series of workshops looks at potential by focussing on learning styles and how we can avoid making snap judgements about a student in order to see their true potential.

This programme would also be useful to parents who feel that a teacher is not not seeing the potential in their child.

Developing Social Intelligence

It has long been observed that while some people may have strong intellectual abilities, they can struggle to master social skills which enable them to interact successfully with other people. This ability to “get along” with others has now been officially recognised as a form of intelligence: social intelligence. People with high social intelligence are often popular and make others around them feel valued, loved, respected and appreciated. They are often said to have magnetic personalities. People low in social intelligence often cause others to feel angry, devalued, frustrated, inadequate or guilty. They can alienate people. This, however, will often be unintentional and their low social intelligence means they lack an understanding of how their behaviour, their attitudes, their interaction and responses affect others and so they fail to see the impact of their behaviour on others. Programmes which raise this awareness can have a marked affect on not only an individual but also a group and a school. We show you how.

Gender equality and bridging the gender gap

In a majority of developing countries girls continue to face discrimination with regards to access to school. As a result, they comprise about 57% of all out-of-school children, yet where they are given the opportunity to education they consistantly outperform boys.This presents us with two challenges,
1. How can we bridge this gender gap and raise boys achievement to the same levels as girls 2. How do we persuade teachers, parents and governments in those countries where girls education is not valued, that they educating girls offers a real opportunity for the benefit and wealth of families, communities and countries.  We can explain the where the how and offer radical solutions.
