    Situation

    Young people who are disengaged from their education due to disadvantage (including poverty, neglect, chaotic home lives, personal or family illness, bullying, change in circumstance affecting mental health, disability, etc) are at risk of limited life chances, with increased risk of becoming NEET (Not in Education Employment or Training), and high potential of risky behaviour including substance abuse, crime, sexually dangerous behaviour, teen pregnancy and homelessness.

    Solution

    The project breaks barriers to learning, increasing resilience by teaching techniques for coping with life. Fun and challenging activities are linked with guided reflection to focus young people on developing personal responsibility, understanding what makes healthy personal relationships, and encouraging respect for self and others including authority figures. The aim is to reengage the young people with their own education and get them back on track.
