IDENTITY

Knowing my position in the universe empowers me to reach my goals.

The core of our programme is identity. A healthy sense of identity also helps children be more open to people from other backgrounds because they are less likely to fear differences or put other children down to feel better about themselves. Having a sense of group identity as well as personal identity also helps a child feel a sense of belonging.

LEADERSHIP

How I use my strength to help myself and others

Providing leadership training prepares youth to manage time, work in a team setting, set goals, start conversations, facilitate meetings, and make effective presentations; all of which are positive life skills that they will carry into adulthood. Leading is more about learning specific skills than possessing inherent qualities. In this way, being a leader is like being an athlete. Certainly, some children are born with attributes that aid in athletics, such as size and quick reflexes. But success in athletics requires thousands of hours of practice to acquire the skills needed for success.

CREATIVITY

Thinking outside the box, using my imagination to solve problems

In order to be creative, one must be able to view things in new ways or from a different perspective. Among other things, new possibilities or new alternatives must be generated. Creativity is not limited to art, we can all create. Our goal is to promote creative thinking to young people so that they find solutions within their abilities instead of looking externally.  We will also focus on the arts as research has shown the development  advantages of practising the arts in your youth.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Every skill I have can be monetised and used to benefit myself and community financially

Teaching entrepreneurship benefits students from all socioeconomic backgrounds because it teaches kids to think outside the box and nurtures unconventional talents and skills. Furthermore, it creates opportunity, ensures social justice, instills confidence and stimulates the economy.
