CREATIVITY CIRCLES | 1:1 WITH MAGS | DREAM BIG
Dream today, lead tomorrow. Young people are our world’s future. This leadership programme coaches teenagers to create a rewarding life and legacy. The mission is to inspire emerging leaders to unlock their unique potential. The outcome is to overcome doubt, frustration and uncertainty.
The life-skills curriculum is positive, dynamic and inspiring: using a vibrant mix of dance, drama, discussion, sharing & rites of passage.
Core life skills: personal responsibility, relationships, communication, anger management, decision-making, positive thinking, dreaming and goal-setting.
Transition into adulthood and life beyond school is challenging. The growing numbers of unemployed, unskilled young people can make the future seem hopeless, a test in survival.
At Dream Big, teenagers discover how to make what’s possible probable. They explore their vision, values and the practical steps to fulfill dreams and goals.
Maintaining positive changes over time leads to lasting fulfillment. Young people are equipped with a tool-kit: to overturn negative programming – thoughts, assumptions, beliefs and judgments.
By opening their minds, they identify core values.
By aligning their values and goals, they unleash the drive to fulfill their vision.
By making active steps to move forward, positive changes become measurable.
By drawing on ongoing support at Dream Big, the shifts in relationships, motivation, outlook and well-being are sustainable.
Core Life Skills Transformation Formula:
