Today we had a professional development session at our school with David Harkins from 8billionideas, and it was truly inspiring. His energy, clarity, and engaging approach made the session impactful and thought-provoking. He encouraged us to think creatively, challenged our perspectives, and left us with practical strategies we can apply immediately.
It was one of the most refreshing and motivating PD sessions I’ve attended, and I highly recommend both David Harkins and 8billionideas for their professionalism and vision.

The CPD was well planned and impactful, prompting me to reflect on my habits and attitudes. It reminded me that personal growth is essential to becoming a world-class educator and leader. By improving myself, I can model excellence and positively influence both students and colleagues.

An amazing session about teaching and being a better human being with a world class mentality.

Amazing
I like the way of presenting

What an inspiring way to kick off both CPD and a new term. The energy, positivity, and practical strategies shared by 8billionideas left me feeling motivated and equipped to make real changes. In essence, mindset is key and this session captured that perfectly. I walked away with so many useful takeaways on how to better lead myself, support my family, guide my team, and inspire my students. A truly uplifting and transformative experience that I would recommend to any educator or leader looking to start the year with purpose and impact.

Inspired me to get into podcast for my daily dose routine to learn new thing each day and control my stress.

Mr. Harkin is one of the most amazing speaker on our CPD, he shared loads of " World Class" topic..Thank you.

Great ideas David. Many thanks

He gave me positivity and energy to start a new year.

David was fab! Really inspired me to go and make positive ripples

Amazing team and gr8 concept. This is refreshing as a camp for kids.

Over the last 4 years David and the 8billionideas team have played an integral part in the curriculum design, adaptation and implementation across many schools for over 11,000 learners in the Cluster. From Year 3 learners designing the next toy craze to Post 16 learners participating in the Perform Better Programme, the critical curriculum delivers for all. Learners global citizenship has been enhanced along with school inspection ratings from new start up schools to exceptionally well matured over subscribed ones. 8billionideas are a key strategic partner in the reimagining of education provision across all curricula.

8Bill are a truly inspiring, innovative and unique curriculum partner who I would recommend to any school looking to up their schools educational and engagement levels. There's no other company designing and delivering such 21st century relevant, digital first content than 8Billionideas and I would always encourage school leaders to contact them to see how they can help your school reach its maximum potential ✅

High energy, fast pace and always focused on the student experiences. 8Billion create the space for thinking that is future focused and very relevant. All students benefit from a range of ‘critical curriculum’ and performance related programs - within and beyond the classroom.

My son really enjoyed this experience. It really tapped into his creativity from designing to building prototypes and improved his confidence through presenting his creations to others. Would highly recommend. The team were super friendly and enthusiastic and nurtured the children’s ideas. Special mention to Ziyad, Lakshmi, Sanya and Mo who ran the event at GEMS JPS. Thank you.

Really organised group of facilitators with lots of energy and enthusiasm. All the students engaged well with the activity and bought into the event. Thank you for hosting a brilliant range of events for the school.

Time management is shocking. They were late to start the call the first day of the work experience, and on the second day they cancelled the lesson 10 minutes in. not worth £35, would not recommend to anyone. no apology or reason for why they couldn’t do the second lesson, and left all the work to ourselves.

We have worked with David and Jenny (the leaders of 8billionideas) in an event where they brought some of the school teams from their programs to showcase their business. We had high level officials at the event, and we were extremely impressed not only with their professionalism, but also with the outcomes of their programs. The kids who came to our event were not simply 'writing things on paper', some of them had actual innovative products that they were ready to sell, such as a fashion brand that uses fungi as material - spectacular!

In all the feedback that we received about the event, those kids were part of the highlight.

Fantastic program!

Thanks for your explanation regarding 8billionideas

An incredible opportunity to learn from industry leaders and grow in the public speaking space. Thank you for the valuable session, incredibly insightful
