General Objectives

As a result of taking part in this programme, participants become aware of their own needs and actions. They practice how to

  • be aware of their own and others needs and intentions
  • negotiate with others,
  • set appropriate personal boundaries
  • know where and how to access help
  • persist to get the help they need

They apply these skills in creative role plays, games, video clips, comics, drama, or social stories etc. which reinforce attitudes and behaviours that build fun, healthy, and ethical relationships.

Parents and professionals working with the young people are informed through notices and invited to attend the presentation, so that they can support the learning and the application of the strategies and attitudes.

The programme follows the most recent Best Practice research and recommendations. I.e.

  • Focus on building skills and changing behaviour to foster respectful healthy relationships
  • Challenge harmful gender norms which support sexual violence
  • Evaluate
  • Encourage youth participation and involvement in programme development
  • Consults regularly with stakeholders
