Education c̶̶̶a̶̶̶n̶̶̶ should be fun. And we try keep it that way... 150 students, 8+ teachers/board leaders, one awesome team, and a great partnership with RBC. Our team at LearnIt had the pleasure of hosting an incredible event in partnership with RBC, welcoming 150 students from four schools across the Peel District School Board and Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board. Here's a recap of the day: 🎤 Keynote Inspiration The day kicked off with an inspiring talk from Nabeel Khan, Regional Vice President at RBC. Nabeel shared his journey and valuable advice for life beyond high school, leaving students motivated and excited for their future. 💡 Hands-On Workshops Next, students dove into a hands-on workshop where they learned the key principles of customer service through: -> Improv Games to build communication skills. -> Broken Telephone for active listening. -> Redesigning an RBC Branch to spark creative problem-solving 🏢 RBC Headquarters Tour After a delicious lunch, students explored the RBC Headquarters, including a behind-the-scenes look at the vault and the operations that keep the bank running smoothly. This wasn’t just an event; it was an experience. Our team at LearnIt spends months planning these events and seeing them come to life gives us so much happiness. We strongly feel that education is an experience - and it should be a fun one. One where students are building their social skills, meeting new people and learning in new environments. Thank you to the incredible team at RBC for making this possible, to the teachers and board leaders for supporting this initiative, and of course, to the amazing students who brought their energy and enthusiasm.
