Workshops as a form of learning through experience represent a popular teaching method at schools all around the world and because of this they constitute an integral part of Alison Academy’s teaching. A workshop is a meeting at which a group of people engage in intensive discussion and activity on a particular subject or project. As a specific form of teaching, workshops guarantee the success of active student learning. Along with the students, a number of guest teachers, and the school support staff also take part in the workshops. Thus far, students have attended workshops on topics like tolerance in society, AIDS prevention, addictions, sex ed, etc.

Through the workshops, students were able to develop their communication skills, their team spirit, compassion and tolerance, social intelligence and leadership skills.
