Cycle 1: What a great start!

Dear Eco Hub Families,

Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter for this academic year! Since our first day on September 2nd, we’ve already launched into our Building Blocks and topics, and the learners are hands-on with their explorations. We’re excited to share some highlights with you—enjoy the read!

✨Learning Highlights
In this section, you'll find highlights from our Building Blocks and programs

Onboarding week: getting to know each other and the programs

During learners’ onboarding week, Learners participated in a variety of activities to get to know each other and build group cohesion. This week also served as an introduction to the Building Blocks and an opportunity to establish routines.

We would like to highlight the incredible teamwork shown by each program during Imagine. Learners explored doodling, experimenting freely with lines, patterns and characters without worrying about perfection. They then worked together to restore, repaint and decorate furniture from the Hub, turning everyday pieces into shared artworks. It was an opportunity to express their creativity, build on each other’s ideas and care for the spaces we share.

A reminder on healthy snacks

At the Hub, we encourage families and learners to bring healthy snacks and meals, such as fruit, nuts, grains, and vegetables. We strongly recommend avoiding foods high in sugar or low in nutritional value to support learners in taking care of their minds and bodies.

Morning drop-off

Thank you for ensuring that learners arrive by 08:55, so they are ready to start Real Talk promptly at 09:00. Your support helps us minimize interruptions once the session begins and makes it easier for your learner(s) to transition smoothly into the morning. We really appreciate it!

We’ve tried to be kind to the planet where we can, including natural and recycled materials with organic options, and shipping from EU suppliers to cut down the distance your order travels.
