​

Free online training.

We offer a free online training programme that includes everything you need to know to get started with a PASS IT ON programme in your community.

​

Based on the latest research.

Our programme is based on the latest research from experts in education, psychology and neuroscience, showing that children learn most efficiently through fun and engaging activities.  We include movement, arts & crafts, communication and stories enabling children to enjoy forming connections and engaging in more meaningful learning.

​

​

Truly sustainable.

No body knows a community better than those who are of that community. That is why we train you in the principles of our programme, then encourage you to implement it in a way that works best for your community.

​

What it is NOT?

​

A done for you approach.

We provide you with the information to be able to  implement a PASS IT ON programme in your community. We do not do the work for you. This is your programme and you are responsible for all aspects of it.

​

​

​

Set in stone.

Our programme includes principles from neurodevelopment, psychology, and tried and tested educational approaches, all with the human spirit at heart. We give you the information and encourage you to adjust the programme to fit in with the culture of your community.
