Aim of DARE to be You
DARE to be You aims to help build and reinforce young people's own sense of who they are - their own unique skills and qualities - and also encourages them to look beyond their own lives, to develop empathy for the people immediately around them, in their community, society and global village.
They will discover that 'difference' can be a quality; that daring to stand secure in one's own space requires self control, self reliant decision making, and the ability to harness the positive influences of our unique experiences, cultural and social backgrounds and individual learning styles.
The book Run for the Trees acts as the catalyst for this journey of self discovery, and young people walk alongside the book's main characters as they make their own voyage towards self esteem - learning how to transform 'disability' and uncertainty into productive creativity, colour and diversity ... by celebrating the unique differences in each of us.
Each participant will have the opportunity to learn, practice and assimilate:
- Creativity tools.
- Tools for understanding complex situations (understanding the big picture).
- Effective decision making.
- Planning skills.
- Information and study skills.
- Memory techniques.
- Individual learning styles.
- Time management skills.
- Techniques for controlling stress.
