AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT · INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS
A premium screen-free programme for children at international schools. 12 weeks. Intimate groups of up to 10 children. No tests, no grades, no wrong answers.
In a world shaped by AI and automation, the most valuable skills are the ones that make us irreducibly human — emotional intelligence, independent thinking, leadership, communication, and self-awareness. These skills aren't on any school curriculum. Until now.
GEN ME is a weekly 90-minute experience built around one idea: the lesson is always hidden inside the activity. Children think they're playing a game, building something, or having a debate. They are. Underneath it, they're developing the emotional and intellectual foundations that will define the rest of their lives.
Every session is built around an experience — a game, a challenge, a creative project, a debate. The activity is real. The fun is real. But hidden inside every experience is a lesson in emotional intelligence, independent thinking, leadership, or self-awareness.
Your child leaves describing what they did. You ask a few questions. And you realise something just happened that no school could have taught them.
Children are given a mystery object and must convince the group it has value.
Communication, persuasion, and finding your own point of view.
Two children who don't know each other must build something together with limited materials and no instructions.
Collaboration, resilience, and how to lead without authority.
Each child writes one true thing they've noticed about every other person in the group.
Empathy, observation, and the power of being seen.
What makes you unique. How you think. What you notice that others don't. The first four weeks are about building a foundation of self-knowledge that the rest of the programme grows from.
How to name what you feel. How to communicate honestly. How to work through conflict without losing yourself. Skills that take most adults decades to develop.
Finding your purpose. Understanding your values. Starting something from nothing. The final chapter turns everything learned into action.

"When I first heard about GEN ME, my immediate thought was — this is exactly what our children need right now. Schools do a wonderful job with academic skills, but the self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and sense of purpose this programme builds are what will truly shape who these children become."
"In my work with children I see every day how much they need structured, safe spaces to develop emotional literacy and self-knowledge. Having a programme like GEN ME here in the Algarve fills a real gap. This kind of intentional development — outside of a clinical setting — is exactly what helps children thrive."
"AI is absolutely part of our children's future — there's no avoiding it. But before we put those tools in their hands, they need to know who they are. The life skills GEN ME teaches — self-awareness, emotional intelligence, purpose — these are what will stop our children from losing themselves in a world driven by algorithms. Get the human foundation right first."
