Key Information
Life skills is a preventive approach that focuses on the development of social and emotional skills; the development of the whole person, including comprehensive sexuality education. Life skills is often called the missing piece in education and is part of our comprehensive approach to fight against youth unemployment. It does not only aid the individual development and prevents problematic beha- viour, it helps building a positive community. It helps build resilience and prepares the youth to be successful in their lives and careers. We equip trainers with the competencies to create a safe learning space, and the skills to use creative and participatory methodologies to teach life skills.
