Skills 21 is a research-backed, gamified school programme that nurtures 21st Century Skills, by immersing students in an engaging superhero themed game, group activities, and deep reflective discussions. This high energy programme will develop students confidence, self-awareness, and social abilities. Schools implement the programme as part of their extracurricular offering or as part of their scheduled school day.
Why are these skills important?
The impact of technology on the way we learn, work, and live, has put pressure on schools to teach (and students to learn) new competencies that ready children for a successful academic and professional life.
Studies by leading organisations, such as the World Economic Forum and OECD, have proven that training students in 21st-century skills, coupled with traditional academic schooling is one of the best ways to develop these competencies.
The challenge though is schools cannot just teach soft using a textbook. Students need to use, understand, and experience them to cement the learning and change their behaviours.

Skills 21 Methodology
The Skills 21 method of delivery creates a learning experience that is engaging, entertaining, and educational. It will not add hours of arduous assignments or homework to the students day. The programme comprises of gamification, immersion, group activities, and reflective discussions to not only teach students about the skills, but to also give them essential hands-on experience to use and practice their new skills. Their school teachers facilitate the class session, providing a safe environment for children to challenge themselves.
Three Step Learning Cycle
STEP 1: Understanding the Skills
Students engage with weekly online modules to familiarise themselves with the 21 competencies. They complete the learning individually, typically at home, through fun reading and quizzes. The content gets progressively complex as they move through the programme
STEP 2: Using & Practicing the Skills
Students will take part in a high-energy group activity, to put their home learning into practice. Students will need to collaborate, solve problems, and strategise to progress and win the Skills 21 game. This lively activity challenges students to focus, develop plans, and become a leader without any teacher/adult guidance or intervention.
STEP 3: Awareness of Self
Devices are switched off, and the teacher will lead the group in reflecting back on the class activity and encourage each child to share their thoughts on the outcomes, behaviours, and how they can improve.
