Our Impact Report is live
In our first year, the Gen+ programme has empowered schools, teachers, and pupils to embed essential meta-skills like communication, collaboration, and adaptability into their daily learning experiences. The results are transformative—both in classrooms and beyond.
Our lessons make skills tangible. Pupils gain hands-on experience applying meta-skills in ways that are practical and relevant. From active listening to leadership, they leave each lesson more prepared for their future.
