• “I attended Alokeparna’s workshop on the neuroscience of curiosity at Wings Agora, Roermond. The session laid out a rigorous, research-backed explanation of curiosity as a learning driver - linking reward circuitry, attention systems, and memory consolidation into a coherent framework. It deepens the understanding of how curiosity can be deliberately triggered, sustained, and amplified in group settings. It reinforced the importance of designing learning environments that actively generate inquiry rather than passively deliver content. The content of this workshop should be core knowledge for educators, leaders, and anyone shaping learning cultures who want a strong scientific foundation for curiosity-driven education.”.

  • "Alokeparna Ray's talk on the Neuroscience of Learning at Purple Butterfly explored how curiosity drives effective learning and how we can foster more curious environments. She explained the brain science behind why curiosity is essential for meaningful learning, particularly in today's rapidly changing world. The session provided practical guidance on creating spaces and experiences that naturally encourage questioning, exploration, and reflection in children. The impact extended beyond our work. Many of us found the insights resonating personally-prompting reflection on how we can bring more curiosity into our own lives and relationships. The talk has inspired us to cultivate a culture of wonder and inquiry in everything we do at Purple Butterfly, making curiosity not just something we encourage in children, but a value we embody ourselves"

  • "The workshop was an enriching and joyful experience for our children. The concept of learning through play and open-ended activities truly encouraged creativity, curiosity, and imagination among the students. Our young learners thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and participated with great enthusiasm. We deeply appreciate your dedicated efforts in making learning meaningful and engaging. Such initiatives play an important role in nurturing young minds and promoting inclusive and experiential education. Thank you once again for your valuable contribution and support. We look forward to more such wonderful collaborations in the future."
