Who have experienced difficulties, academic failure or drop out.
At The Travelling Brain, we strive to provide an inclusive, caring and creative educational space that caters to the unique needs of all learners. We seek to empower adults - especially those who have struggled in school or tertiary pathways - with a second chance to acquire knowledge, talents, and skills. Our approach is multifaceted and interdisciplinary, combining the expertise of educators, neuroscientists, psychologists, cognitive science experts, artists and storytellers, gaming experts, computer science enthusiasts and new technologies.

We aim to provide a comprehensive learning experience that puts the learner at the heart of our development. Our educational laboratory is geared to continually create courses/services/products tailored to each individual's learning needs.
