Drawing on deep research into the transformative power of relationships, Kimon facilitates workshops that invite teachers to realign their mission and attitude. These sessions use Jungian principles and the research that has informed Kimon’s books to help educators explore their professional identity and practice through a new lens.
My Attitude. My Choice: A Journey Through Symbol, Meaning and Purpose is offered as a half day or more immersive full day workshop. The case studies are based on teachers, but the learnings are relevant to broader audiences.
Zukiswa Soga, a teacher at Imboniselo Primary School in the Western Cape, believes in the power of symbols. She identifies as a fist: standing firm for children who have been betrayed.
“This is not Mandela’s dream realised,” she says. “Things are out of hand in people’s homes.”
Gauteng: The staff at Brenthurst Primary School celebrate their “can-do” teacher, Tracey Naidoo, following a can-do workshop.
Tracey’s symbol is a star. “If I light up, that child light’s up, and it makes me want to do more.”
Knysna: Teachers at KILT distil the “can-do” spirit into personal symbols during a workshop series convened by Kimon Phitidis.
