I chose the Fresh Minds was because I wanted to learn different life skills, try to understand how to approach problems in a different way and try to be innovative to think of ideas. The course sounds very interesting and offers transferrable skills. I also wanted to try and push myself even further and the Fresh Minds course offered me that challenge. I have really enjoyed the idea generating sessions because I had to try and be more innovative and think outside the box to try and find the answers. Once you start finding a few ideas, lots of different ideas keep on coming and all of this has benefitted me in my day-to-day life, as I am starting to read a wider variety of articles and books. I think that the learning process is good because every week I learn different skills. Even if I miss a session, recordings are available and there are also other sessions on other days which I can attend. During my half term there were also additional sessions and I found these very helpful
