Winning tools for life

About us

Eshcolot Hashiva was founded in 1994.
Our activities are all centered on the Eshcolot Method, a unique and innovative approach to the development and training of thinking abilities and life skills through strategy games.

Eshcolot Method

The Eshcolot Method was developed by Dan Gendelman, a world-known expert in assimilating games into learning processes at schools.

Our programs are being integrated into schools’ curricula – from kindergartens to high schools – with lessons delivered once a week throughout the school year.
The Eshcolot Method has been taught with great success in over 40 countries throughout the world under the name Mind Lab.

recommendation

"The program allows the student to discover his inherent strengths, equip himself with creative tools to manage challenges and become significantly stronger."

"The program meets the very important need of cultivating social skills."

"Eshcolot Thinking continues to develop interesting and relevant content, allowing us to continue implementing the program for years to come."

"We see the program as a very significant value for us. This is our opportunity to explore, learn - Just like in every subject we teach. We are happy about the flexibility and open-mindedness of the Eshkolot team, And thank you for your cooperation and seriousness!"

"At the school, we combine activity workshops of thinking clusters with the class teachers as part of the "Haloum" program (experience, learning and play). As part of the educational process, Eshkolot Hikra takes an active and significant part in the central pedagogy: The process of guiding the workshops is carried out experientially and combines games, wear aids, tools and methods dedicated to the development of the educational staff.'

"Thinking cluster games have proven to have the power to empower students and give them a springboard for strategic thinking, along with many social tools. The program reveals to the children how to approach the task: from a place of respect, of listening to others and of accepting a loss. I must also give a good mention to the team of thinking clusters, who give us the confidence to continue teaching the students how to approach challenges and how they can do anything!'
