How does it work?

  • Every week, a group of 10 junior youth or so meet with their animators for a period of 1 to 2 hours.

  • Junior youth read stories that help develop their powers of expression, critical thinking skills, and comprehension skills. The content of the stories is intended to help junior youth make positive decisions by exploring concepts such as kindness, justice, and honesty.

  • Junior youth also engage in complementary activities such as arts, drama and sports


What is an animator?

  • An animator is an older youth, who is usually in the upper years of high school or university and assists the junior youth in their journey through the programme.

  • Older youth tend to make excellent animators as they find it easy to treat junior youth not as children, but as equals, and encourage them to ask questions, learn about society.


Is there a cost to attend?

  • There is no cost to attend the programme.
