A POWERFUL LASTING IMPACT FOR LIFE
Our Skills for Life™ programme targets young people in secondary education and helps them recognise and apply their unique character strengths at school, at home, and in life.
Combining an extended adventurous journey outdoors with a series of facilitated problem-solving activities takes young people out of their comfort zones and into a challenging learning environment.
They learn how to use their character strengths to reach their goals, find greater meaning and engagement at school, and more happiness and balance in life.
learning outcomes
We help young people to identify, develop and apply their character strengths
In our unique Skills for Life™ course, students learn to tap into the power of their character strengths – such as bravery, creativity, kindness, perseverance, honesty, and more – to build self-confidence, boost a positive attitude, and cope with the inevitable stress of life.
They will also find out how to spot strengths in those around them, such as friends, family and teachers.
Finally, they discover how their character strengths can help bolster their engagement in life, enhance positive and healthy relationships, give their lives greater meaning, increase their accomplishments, and improve physical and mental health.
