LEARNING
TO LEARN..
- What can juggling teach us about learning?
An experiential workshop using juggling and play to explore how we learn, adapt and collaborate.
Every modern team is juggling: projects, deadlines, messages, expectations..
“What I really liked was being able to make mistakes, and knowing that the mistake was part of the process. It was a beautiful feeling not to have to think about doing something perfectly.”
— Davines Group Digital & Innovation team
👇 A real-world example: Learning to Learn with Davines Group 👇
We spend our working lives learning new tools, adapting to change and dealing with uncertainty. But how often do we actually stop to observe how we learn?
In this workshop, juggling becomes a practical laboratory for exploring mistakes, attention, confidence, adaptability, collaboration and flow.
The goal is not to succeed.
The goal is to observe how we learn.
Through the simple act of learning to juggle, participants experience what it means to focus, adapt, make mistakes and trust the process.
They explore precision, rhythm, attention and trust — not as abstract concepts, but through their own bodies and direct experience.
This is not entertainment.
This is experiential learning.
Using juggling as a hands-on practice, participants develop focus, adaptability and connection while discovering how they respond to new challenges, uncertainty and the inevitable mistakes that come with learning something new.
It’s not about the trick.
It’s about learning how to learn.

“It was beautiful to experience that state of flow — trusting, in this case, my body rather than trying to control the whole learning process mentally.”
— Davines Digital & Innovation team

playful learning that sticks.
Are you ready to embrace a more connected team and flourish together?
Why Juggling Works
Juggling offers a simple, physical way to explore
some of the challenges we face every day at work.
“It gave me a very concrete metaphor for the processes we go through when learning something new, both in working life and every day.”
— Davines Digital & Innovation team
It’s a small laboratory for learning.
- Staying focused while things are in motion
- Responding to mistakes with calm and curiosity
- Coordinating actions with others in real time
- Adapting when things don’t go according to plan
- Maintaining rhythm under pressure
You don’t need to be a juggler. In fact, not knowing how to juggle is the point.
Everyone starts somewhere, makes mistakes, discovers something new and gradually learns to trust the process.
Business thinker and lifelong juggler Seth Godin has described juggling as being less about catching than about learning to throw precisely.
In juggling, as in work, you can’t control everything that happens next. You can focus on what you put into the system.
My Superpower
Over 30 years of performing, teaching and working with groups, I’ve discovered that my real gift is creating spaces where people feel comfortable enough to play, experiment and connect.
Whether it’s a shared laugh over a juggling mishap, the concentration of learning something new, or a moment of collective rhythm, I help people drop their guard and become more present — with themselves and with each other.
This isn’t forced fun or awkward team games.
It’s a carefully facilitated space where people can experiment, make mistakes, surprise themselves and discover something new together.
The result is more than a team that has had a good time.
They’ve experienced what it feels like to learn, play and connect differently.

Per chi è pensato?
Questo è un workshop di apprendimento esperienziale basato sulla giocoleria, sul gioco e sul movimento. Il formato può essere adattato al vostro team, ai vostri obiettivi e al tempo a disposizione — da una sessione mirata fino a un’esperienza di una giornata intera.
Insieme esploriamo cosa succede quando ci troviamo davanti a qualcosa di nuovo: come reagiamo all’errore, all’incertezza e alla difficoltà, come ci sosteniamo a vicenda e cosa ci aiuta a passare dalla frustrazione alla fiducia e al flow.
L’esperienza può essere inserita all’interno di offsite aziendali, retreat, percorsi di leadership, programmi di Learning & Development ed eventi aziendali.
Formato: da 2–3 ore fino a una giornata intera
Numero di partecipanti: adattato al gruppo e al formato
Dove: in Italia e a livello internazionale
Spazio: al chiuso o all’aperto
Materiali per la giocoleria: tutto il necessario è fornito, con la possibilità per i partecipanti di tenere il proprio set per continuare a esercitarsi.
Ogni esperienza viene progettata in funzione del vostro team e di ciò che volete esplorare.

After the hands-on programme, participants will continue to explore and consolidate what they’ve learned through short reflective exercises.
This is where we connect play with practical outcomes for everyday work.

How it works & Why it matters
This is an experiential learning workshop built around juggling, play and movement. The format can be adapted to your team, your objectives and the time available — from a focused session to a full-day experience.
Together, we explore what happens when we encounter something new: how we respond to mistakes, uncertainty and challenge, how we support each other, and what helps us move from frustration towards confidence and flow.
The experience can be integrated into team offsites, retreats, leadership programmes, learning & development initiatives and company events.
Format: From 2–3 hours to a full-day experience
Group size: Adapted to the group and format
Location: Italy and internationally
Setting: Indoor or outdoor
Juggling equipment: All materials provided, with the option for participants to keep their own set for continued practice.

A Heartfelt Message from Your Guide: Anthony Trahair
Hello, I’m Anthony
I’m a performer, juggler, author and coach who has spent the past 30 years exploring how play, movement and embodied learning can help people connect, communicate and grow.
From stages across Europe to workshops with companies and communities, I’ve seen how simple, embodied experiences can unlock trust, creativity and new ways of thinking.
My work brings together art, movement, play and coaching, helping people explore how they respond to challenges, learn from mistakes and find their way into flow — individually and together.
What I love most is watching people light up: when laughter and focus meet, when someone surprises themselves by doing something they thought was impossible, and when a group suddenly feels, “Ah… we’re in sync.”
That’s what Learning to Learn is about.
Creating the space to experiment, make mistakes, discover something new and take that learning back into life and work.
