What Is Resilience Tricks All About?

Utilising Circus Skills To Enhance Student’s Resilience and Develop A Growth Mindset
In this workshop, we address our approaches to failure and how we can use it to learn and develop skills through the practical exercise of learning to spin a plate. We cover the experiences of the learning pit and how this can effect our mindset which we can then address and work on shifting our focus from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset. By the end of the session, we will have achieved something as a group that we have previously deemed impossible and leave with a new attitude towards failure that will help with all of life’s challenges.

Observing this workshop is a joy to see as the students often surprise themselves by achieving a new skill they first found a difficult challenge. There’s nothing quite like watching the sternest faced teenager crack a smile the first time they manage to spin a plate and for that split second forget they’re supposed to be looking cool and non-plussed in front of their friends, you just proved to them achieving actually feels good and is something we should be proud of.

Understanding Resilience

In this workshop, students explore how resilience isn’t about avoiding failure but about how we respond to and learn from it. We address:

  • Adaptability – Being open to change to find new possible solutions.

  • Emotional Strength – Managing emotions effectively during tough times and mitigating the impact of adverse situations.

  • Perseverance – Staying committed to goals despite obstacles.

  • Self-Awareness – Understanding your reactions to failure, particularly when developing a new skill and improving your coping strategies.

What Can We Expect To Achieve From Resilience Tricks?

By the end of the Resilience Tricks workshop, together we will:

  • Understand why failure is a good thing.

  • Understand what resilience is and why it is essential for us to succeed.

  • To develop a skill we don’t already have.

  • To achieve something we “can’t” do.
