Born out of personal experience, 360 Education
provides personalised workshops on subjects such as
Anti-Bullying and Self-Esteem to schools and colleges
(mainly as part of the PSHE and Citizenship curriculum)
Plus other educational institutions across the UK. These can be delivered in person or via Zoom.
Our Unique Approach
All our workshops are delivered by our
director, Nath Fernandes, a qualified
NCFE Life Coach whohas first-hand
experience of the subjects covered
such as bullying and suffering from
low self-esteem. This enables Nath to
resonate with students on a personal
level and answer questions in away that,
perhaps wouldn’t be possible without
such experience.
Workshop Contents
It is common knowledge that the best
way to engage students is through
kinaesthetic (physical) activity which is
why our workshops are fully interactive
combining useful facts with activities
that provoke thinking that may assist
one in the future should a situation such
as bullying arise. For example, during
our Anti-Bullying workshops, we
encourage students to devel op
coping strategies i.e. creating a ‘safe
space’ through a hobby. Nath adopted
these strategies to turn his experiences
during school and university on its head
thus enabling him to inspire thousands.
Types of Workshops
Anti-Bullying
During this workshop, we unravel the
reasons behind why one may start
bullying, perhaps due to a lack of
understanding plus we explore the
‘unawares’ aspect of the subject.
Through a combination of role play and
discussions, we help students gain a
deeper understanding of not only the
reasonswhy bullying may occur but also
different copying mechanisms that one
can adopt should a situation arise.
Business Skills
This workshop combines a range of
discussion and activities, for example,
giving students a simple object and
asking what the best way to market such
object would be. This is coupled with
Nath’s personal experience of building
up busi nesses from scratch, some of
which have succeeded and some failed.
Mental Health
This subject has, of course, become
centre stage recently because of the
COVID pandemic and the associated
lockdowns. As you know whether it is
through the lack of crucial social contact
or isolation, this has had a major impact
on students’ mental health. Through the
sharing of personal experiences around
isolation during lockdown and an open
discussion, we explore both the reasons
why the situation make take its toll on
an individual’s mental health and the
strategies that can be adopted to assist
in improvement.
Self -Esteem
Our Self Esteem workshops are founded
upon Nath’s experience of low selfesteem throughout education but then,
through various strategies, was able to
turn this on its head achieving ambitions
one of which is inspiring thousands of
students across the country. Through
a combination of roleplay and
discussions, we help students to gain
a deeper understanding of why low
self-esteem occurs, why sometimes it’s
OK not to be OK and the different coping
mechanisms that one can adopt
should a situation arise as a boost

What schools say
"The 360 Education team came to Hull
Collegiate School to run a workshop for
Year 7 on PHSCE day. It was an awesome
morning, and the pupils really enjoyed
the interactive presentation. Nath was
an excellent presenter with a good sense
of humour and the children had lots of
questions to ask him that he replied to
with care and patience.
We thoroughly enjoyed their visit and
would not hesitate to recommend them
to other schools."
