Your brain deserves as much thought and attention to stay healthy as any other part of your body.This will be the take-away message of the two-day workshop, “Brain Boost”, next month, held under the patronage of the Minister of Culture Haifa Najjar at the Hussein Cultural Centre.

“We are lucky to have 14 of Jordan’s top experts in brain science and communication with us this year,” says Hind-Lara Mango, publisher and managing director of Al Marji’ Publications.

This is the second annual brain health event it co-hosts with the brain training centre, Mind Matters, joining the global campaign: Brain Awareness Week.

“The brain is so complex and interesting, but many don't understand how it works or what they can do to support it,” says Educational Psychologist Dina Halaseh, co-founder of Mind Matters, organising partner of Brain Boost.

She explains that “This event aims to raise awareness and share the wonders of brain science to help families, teachers and individuals boost their brains!” At this workshop, held March 11-12, participants will explore topics, such as money intelligence, Alzheimer’s, COVID, stress, sleep, addiction and much more.
