Multiple Intelligences

This is how you get all your participants at the edge of their seat!

During classes and trainings a lot of information is provided, explained and discussed. Some participants sit at the edge of their seat and are completely engaged, while others stop participating and look forward to a break. You detect this behavior. Are these participants not motivated or are they not able to follow the training? You engage them, ask them if everything is clear, if they’re “ok”. You make sure to alternate the different work forms, but still …

The theory of “Multiple Intelligences” (MI) by Howard Gardner discusses differences between people. Every person is talented or intelligent in his own way, and it determines his preferences for certain activities. For example, someone can be linguistically, mathematically, socially or musically talented.

This workshop teaches participants to recognize and make use of their intelligences. The effect of the implementation of MI is that all participants feel challenged and engaged. By anticipating their preferential intelligences they will learn easier and more. Furthermore, people develop themselves broader by having their strengths address the less strong intelligences.

With the knowledge of Multiple Intelligences they can increase the variation in work formats in classes, differentiate themselves better and they increase the learning efficiency of their participants.


After the training, the participants will be able to:

  • Recognize 8 intelligences based on the associated characteristics
  • Connect MI to different training tools and techniques
  • Apply the MI theory in a training situation

This is one of the most fun workshops to participate in!
