Course programme

Course review:

  • Informal workshop setting, working all together and in small groups.
  • We affirm the strong points in ourselves and each other to build up self esteem, confidence and assertive behaviour.
  • We take a look at physical, verbal and emotional violence, and at the causes of violence.
  • We develop communication skills with lots of explaining and listening.
  • We look at the sort of language which leads to resolving arguments peacefully and constructively.
  • We try to see both sides of any argument.
  • We have a lot of fun along the way, with frequent breaks.
  • At the end of each workshop, most participants feel a real sense of belonging to a small community.
