Key Interventions of Awaken Genius
Integration of PYE Global's Creative Empowerment Model:
Awaken Genius is inspired by the Creative Empowerment Model developed by PYE Global. This model integrates evidence-based strategies that promote academic performance, emotional well-being, and the development of healthy relationships. By emphasising creativity, this model supports children’s holistic development, allowing them to thrive both inside and outside of the classroom.
Building Community Families Wellbeing Days
Our Building Community Families Wellbeing Days are held throughout the year, where we incorporate somatic therapy (mind-body connection) and the creative arts to help parents self-regulate, connect deeply with their children, and build stronger bonds with other families. These days focus on fostering emotional wellbeing, promoting healthy family dynamics, and enhancing community ties.
Online Parental Wellbeing Circle
Our Online Parental Wellbeing Circles also integrate somatic therapy, offering parents the opportunity to self-regulate and develop the skills to effectively co-regulate with their children and others within their community. These sessions provide practical tools for parents to manage their wellbeing and nurture positive relationships at home and with other
Somatic and Art Therapy Curriculum
Our Therapeutic Arts Curriculum is aligned with the National Curriculum, but its pedagogy is centred around somatic therapy (mind-body connection), creative arts, movement, collaboration, emotional intelligence, self-regulation, visualisation, and multi-sensory learning. The curriculum highlights life purpose, communal success through personal agency, entrepreneurial thinking, and the development of healthy relationships. By integrating cross-curricular approaches, we teach Maths, English, and Emotional Literacy in ways that resonate with students. This is delivered as a Saturday, after-school, and summer intervention.
