Why Rock your SELF?
Below are the three most important reasons to offer the Rock your SELF program to pupils/students aged 10 to 18.
Conscience
Many young people have problems with melancholy or even depression.
With the Rock your SELF program they gain more control over their own lives.
Consciously DOING
Young people are confronted with many of the world's problems.
With the Rock your SELF program they will make more conscious choices.
Conscious LEARNING
Good schools not only ensure the development of knowledge, but also the development of the person.
The Rock your SELF program supports schools in this.
1) BEING CONSCIOUS
More and more young people are struggling with themselves. Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that 15% of all young people (10-19 years) worldwide experience serious mental problems.
The Rock your SELF program is aimed at giving young people more control over their own lives. This may prevent them from experiencing mental problems (prevention).
2) Consciously DO
The problems in the world are big. This results in big (future) challenges, for example in the areas of climate, energy, environment and migration. Young people are not the cause of this, but they are forced to come up with (sustainable) solutions for this during their lives.
The Rock your SELF program helps young people to become aware of these (future) world problems and the likely impact they will have on their own lives.
3) Conscious LEARNING
Learning is not just about following the curriculum at school. It is also about creating a safe and rich learning environment at school, for adults and young people, so that together they can create the society in and for which they really want to live.
The Rock your SELF program supports optimal growth of learning, in the broadest sense of the word.
