Proactive Life Skills for Schools

Goal

This programme is designed to meet the needs of students by helping them learn positive life skills and to educate them so they are able to make positive, healthy physical and physiological choices.

Aims & Objectives

Areas covered include self-confidence, self-control, listening skills, positive thinking, respect and good manners – along with the ability to focus attention, perseverance and courage.  We can adapt the sessions as necessary to suit the needs and responses of students and teachers.

Method

Physical activities similar to those used in the martial arts serve as a vehicle to instil these values and skills that children can put to use both inside and outside the school environment.  These activities incorporate aspects of martial arts including stretching, balance and exercises based on focus and concentration without the use of punching and kicking. Demonstrations and role modelling to inspire what is achievable through using these skills. Participation through role playing to engage possible outcomes and to provide solutions. All drills developed in this programme are designed to be fun games to engage the children but have a very serious side to them so children are also educated at the same time.
