Better self-confidence in teenagers: We often reflect on how the world would have looked if we adults had been given the opportunity to learn how to motivate ourselves, study more efficiently, successfully speak in public, to work well in a team, to solve problems and lead others. That is why we have started a project for teenagers that we call ”The Institute for Self-confidence”.
Concept under development!
Background
Thanks to one of our clients, a parent of teenagers, who suggested this brilliant idea, we are now developing The Institute of Confidence. Our goal is to use part of the profits from the program to subsidize the fee for young people who would like to participate.
There are several other programs and activities out there that are geared towards teenagers. They can participate in sports camps, language courses, art courses, etc, but to our knowledge there is no other course that focuses on helping teenagers gain more self-confidence, believe more in themselves, teach them how to express what they think and how to stand up for their opinions. Why wait until we are adults to learn about how to take advantage of our resources and opportunities?
Idea
The idea came from one of our clients, a mother of two teenage daughters, who said that she would happily pay for a course in "Better self-confidence for teenagers" - if she could only find one.
Concept
We have developed a concept based on what teenagers in upper secondary school feel they need, and what difference it would make. In our research, we interviewed students from Folkuniversitet's Gymnasium in Helsingborg.
