A Life Skills Program For School Children Adolescence is a period marked with several changes at the physical, mental, emotional and social level. For most it is a So that they thrive, confusing period because not only do they have to deal with changes not merely survive within themselves but also with changes in people’s attitudes and behaviors to those changes! Various international organizations have been advocating the need to introduce Life Skills training at the school level. Interest in Life Skills training, the world over, addresses the two-pronged concerns: • To prevent individuals from making debilitating choices during their formative years • To strengthen their abilities to engage with life situations in a way that promotes their well being and their relationship with others The program will give participants ample opportunity and a safe forum to interact with others, share and exchange ideas, which is turn will impact their perception and attitude about themselves and the world. The program will also equip them with thinking, behavioural and attitudinal skills needed to cope with problems and stresses. This will be achieved through activities that are aimed at awareness building, providing necessary skills and application in day-to-day life. The process of learning will be experiential and fun.
