How do we design school activities programmes that don’t just offer opportunities, but actively help students discover what they love? This interactive workshop blends research and real-world practice, exploring:

• Robert Vallerand’s work on harmonious vs. obsessive passion
• Sir Ken Robinson’s Finding Your Element
• David Epstein’s Range on the power of breadth
• Alex Hutchinson’s perspective on the explore–exploit framework
• Gregor & Crystal Lim-Lange’s “Superhuman Skills”

We’ll unpack the balance between exploration and specialisation, and how to build transferable skills that serve students in any pursuit. Leave with practical tools to shape K–12 pathways that are intentional, flexible, and passion-friendly — so students can explore widely, specialise wisely, and thrive deeply.
