8BillionIdeas provides an engaging and inspiring experience that encourages students to think creatively and turn their ideas into meaningful solutions. Teachers have a tool through which students develop skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and innovation in a practical and enjoyable way.

What stands out most is the focus on empowering young people to believe in their own potential. The programme reflects the idea that everyone has valuable ideas and can make a positive impact when given the confidence and tools to do so. It encourages students to take ownership of their learning, think beyond the classroom, and approach challenges with creativity and resilience.

My child went to the holiday camp at primary age. It’s the only camp he’s been to that’s he has nagged me to go back again the next day! He loved it, and I’ve loved hearing and seeing what he’s been doing.

My son came home buzzing every single day. He couldn’t wait to show me what he’d created, and that spark didn’t stop at the camp gates - it carried on at home too.

I really appreciated how well parents were kept in the loop through the WhatsApp group, along with thoughtful personal updates and photos of my son during the week.

Overall, this camp fills a much-needed gap in the market - sitting perfectly between babysitting and traditional sports camps - and it’s clear that children’s wellbeing and creativity are at the heart of everything they do.

My kids had an amazing entrepreneurial camp here. Mo and Ziyad are great instructors to allow the kids to be creative and use their imaginations! Thank you very much!

We take part in the ROAR competition each year and the process is a fascinating one, the 8Billion ideas resources guide the children through the process and the presentation element is vital in developing confidence and cooperation which are valuable skills. Thank you.

A huge improvement in the delivery and communication with the school. The final assembly was amazing and to the point. Thank you for a very worthwhile project where the children learnt a lot about collaborative learning, team work, communication, explaining ideas clearly and different techniques when making their model, poster and jingle. We highly recommend this program.

The children enjoyed the experience of making the product, jingle and explaining what it was they wanted to achieve.
Their video wasn't used at all in the final montage, which was disappointing for them, considering how much effort they had put in to making it.

My son has enjoyed it a lot and coming home with more ideas that promote his creativity.

David delivered a well-presented and engaging session that truly left a mark on me. His energy and practical insights challenged me to think differently about my goals and future. I walked away feeling motivated to push my limits and become a better version of myself.

I had never in my life ENJOYED attending a PD like the one that David J Harkin presented yesterday. ⭐

Some powerful takeaways that truly resonated with me:
• Own your morning routine – small shifts can transform productivity.
• Me Time – carving out space to reset, reflect, and prepare for the day.
• Attitude is important – never forget that.
•World Class Mentality = continuous improvement.

I left the session inspired, motivated, and ready to bring these insights into both my personal routine and professional practice. 💡✨

Great CPD with tangible outcomes I have used to improve my practice. I’m looking forward to having them back to work with the students.

My children spent a week at the camp and they enjoyed a lot making new friends and working on their ideas. Thanks to the camp coaches Mr Ziyad & Mr Moud for providing clear feedback everyday after the camp.

David was energetic and delivered a powerful and impactful session! It was a thought provoking and reflective session that will definitely remind me to create "ripples" this year!

Just having positive energy in the room. Making time to reflect on personal achievements and celebrating those.

Motivational.
Don't hide your light under a bushel.

It was lovely to reflect on proud moments in our career. We tend to forget about the amazing things we do and achieve. Thank you for that. It was an amazing PD!

Was really in rich hands on experience.. and very inspiration one. Thank you David

Engaging and inspiring. Really easy to listen to and helped me question my goals for today and this week, and my way of teaching with my students.
