Connect Game

We tend to chat all the time with our partners, but often not about what really counts - the sort of topics that clear the air, that reintroduce a spirit of fun, that draw us together, that make us remember what is really special about being part of a couple.

The School of Life is a global organisation with a mission to help people lead more fulfilled lives, built on the belief that the journey to finding fulfilment begins with self-knowledge.

Too many of us go through life without ever really understanding what’s going on in the recesses of our minds. That’s why the School of Life was created, as a resource for exploring self-knowledge, relationships, work, socialising, finding calm and enjoying culture through content, community and conversation.
