Workshops

Be taught the way you want to teach. If we want teachers to be innovative with their lessons, we can't give them boring, old-school workshops. That's why our workshops model truly innovative learning: exploratory, inquiry-driven, fun, interactive, hands-on.

Experience our world class workshops for yourself. Have a look at our wide selection of workshops for teachers, lecturers and leadership teams.

See what people say about our workshops

"The amazing coaching of our teachers in the creation of a PBL unit, made our lethargic teachers step up and made those who were set in their ways, see the light. It got a mixed bag of teachers to all think along innovative lines. Our teachers are now all super excited and want to display their thinking for all to see."

Gillian Gouws
EdTech Coach, St Stithians Boys' Prep

"PurpleZA's willingness to help create a personalised 2-day workshop for our staff's needs and our schools strategic plan added value across all factors of our school, in helping to prepare both our staff and students for the 21st Century. A number of our staff came away motivated and inspired to try and innovate their lessons and are already implementing aspects of what they learned. I highly recommend PurpleZA to any school looking to help prepare their staff for the future of education and in becoming "Learning Architects"."

Robert Faltermeier
ICT & Innovation Director, Jeppe Boys High School

"PurpleZA’s workshops are always dynamic, practical and inspiring. They tailor their workshops to our school’s unique needs and combine the best of 21st-century pedagogy with the thoughtful use of educational technologies. PurpleZA is leading the way in guiding teachers and schools to new levels of excellence."

Andrea Coetzer

"This workshop made me truly excited about the future of technology in education and made me a better teacher. The children are going to be blown away. Thank you!"

Connie de Jager
Clever Kids Learning Hub

"Excellent, creative and inspirational workshop that fed into the minds of all who attended, it was interactive and released an energy that can potentially we as lecturers forget we actually have inside us."

Sumayya Khan
Varsity College

"You are amazing and developing teachers is definitely where you should be. You kept us interested for the full two days and have taught us all this information in a way I will never forget."

Carmen Leigh Vaughan
Maranatha Christian School

"The workshops were an eye opener to how we can make learning more interesting and student-centred. The sessions are incredibly educational and informative at the same time. I see now that we are architects in teaching our learners and we can always innovate the way we teach."

Allan Ngetich
Mpesa Foundation Academy

"It was wonderful to participate in such a hands-on workshop so I could experience and see the actual steps of how to work towards something I felt was possible and necessary, but I did not have the know-how to design a cross-curricular, inquiry-based learning unit."

"I have participated in well over 50 hours of PurpleZA webinars. Each webinar has been thoroughly organised, interactive, and accessible to all educators, no matter their experience with technology. Each webinar provided instant online support and troubleshooting which is supplemented with a significant number of resources on websites that were beautifully designed and user friendly. "

Mia Nixon
Head of Curriculum Transformation and Innovation, Holy Rosary School

"Our teachers were exposed to and learned such valuable lessons during their webinars with you guys and it really helped put us on the map as a school that smashed the Lockdown Online Learning. As we have moved in a more hybrid approach, the majority of our teachers have been able to transfer those skills into their teaching and are doing really well. One of the greatest improvements that I have noticed is that the fear element of most of our staff seems to have dissipated."

Andrew Stamper
Deputy Principal, St George's Preparatory School

"My favourite part of the webinar is creating so many wonderful interactive tools to share with my class, I am feeling totally inspired and ready to face the challenges of online learning with FUN and INTERACTIVITY! You are just incredible, you inspire me so much and I am so thankful that I have had the opportunity to learn with you! "
