At The Hive, we curate programmes to build 21st century skills or give people a reflective pause in their lives – we’ve had over 200 programmes in the past 4 years – from board games to theatre to understanding the body language of dogs, to meeting bees, to connecting math and origami, to basic life support training, to ply split braiding, to hands-on STEAM-based learning, to martial arts, and much more!

​

The Hive’s foundational values:

​

1. Experiential Learning, rooted in Curiousity

Traditional education often focuses on content retention. The Hive emphasizes doing, exploring, and experimenting, such as meeting bees “live” to understand their behaviour, designing games to practice math, storytelling to internalize values, and so on. Exploration at The Hive is also multi-disciplinary (it could relate to nature, math, art, and music – all at the same time), and rooted in real-life curiosity. We follow the agricultural model of learning - where the outcomes are determined by the participants themselves - through organic exploration, within a loose structure. All we provide, is a stimulating environment, and the plants take their own course of growth.

 

​2. Play and Creativity at the Centre

We believe the best learning happens when play and creativity go hand in hand. It’s not just a “module” — it’s woven into every programme.

From arts, theatre, and dance to maker workshops and problem-solving games, children are encouraged to imagine, experiment, and create, learning through fun, hands-on experiences every step of the way.

​

3. Cross-Generational & Community-Oriented Initiatives

At The Hive, learning extends beyond the individual — we encourage connection across ages and backgrounds. Through family-friendly workshops, collaborative events, community drives, and shared hobbies like our Unboxed Board Game Club (born from Saturday Game Nights), we build inclusive communities of curious minds.

These experiences nurture social intelligence, empathy, and a sense of belonging — skills that thrive in connection, not in isolation.

​

4. No Rat Race

Growth is fuelled by curiosity, not competition. At The Hive, "the process" comes over "the product." Hence, not all outcomes are "instagrammable", but enrichment is certain. The Hive is essentially a space to think and tinker, slow down, explore ideas, and build without pressure.
