CHAMPIONING POTENTIAL. CHALLENGING BELIEFS. NURTURING MINDS.
For over two decades, the Avenues Winter Workshops have offered young minds a space to learn, question, and grow with purpose. Now in our 23rd year, the "Why Should I?" series invites children and young adults to explore the why behind what they do, think, and feel - nurturing curiosity into confidence and mindful action.
In a world where questions come faster than answers, our workshops encourage children to explore their curiosity in healthy, meaningful ways. Through experiential learning, self-reflection, and skill-based modules, they learn not just to answer their whys, but to embrace discovery - learning independently, growing with peers, and knowing when and where to seek guidance.
Every child's 'Why?’
is the beginning of a lifetime of learning.
Our Curriculum​​
This year's edition focuses on building a culture medium of curiosity - a space where every child learns to explore, connect, and thrive.​
​
The Why Should I curriculum thoughtfully integrates key learning areas broadly organised around Values & Wellbeing, Public Speaking, and Everyday Science & Problem Solving. Each area is designed to encourage curiosity, self-expression, and the joy of learning through experience.
