Annotation: Follow-up course. This course is designed for participants of the first Keeping Your Mind in Gear 1 course. The main goal will be to continue to keep the mindset active and to keep developing it so that it serves us well. We will build on the knowledge and skills gained from previous work and test them on new tasks. We will re-engage all cognitive functions in spatial orientation, analytical assignments, comparing, categorizing, and other tasks that reinforce thinking strategies and improve the ability to learn new things and respond to constant change. Another goal is a willingness to try something new and, of course, a good mood! Everything else is provided by Prof. Reuven Feuerstein's internationally recognized Instrumental Enrichment Method, which we use together to activate and develop thinking. The course will be open with a minimum of 20 people.
