our facilitation style
-
Our program focuses on addressing the strengths and skills the participants possess rather than their weaknesses or deficits. The strengths-based approach challenges participants to grow and change by identifying and using their strengths as a personal resource. Participants are encouraged to become the expert within their own life.
-
Our program applies experiential learning approaches to support the link between theory, concepts and practice; a sense of ‘learning by doing’. The program engages participants through direct experience and focused reflection in order to clarify novel concepts, increase knowledge, and build new thoughts, ideas and skills.
-
The program fosters positive peer experiences through the use of peer participation, modelling by facilitators the use of group-based discussions and activities aimed at introducing novel thoughts, attitudes and behaviours.
The program offers a non-judgemental and safe space that allows individuals to learn from one another, mentor one another, and collect shared experiences.
-
Our facilitators are required to exercise cultural competence within their practice.
The program is designed not only to acknowledge and increase understanding of diversity and differences, but to celebrate and cultivate it.
The program hopes to instill an attitude of curiosity and learning from diversity
-
The three core concepts of our programs are gender-neutral concepts that are inherently applicable to every individual. Our school programs aim to create a space where dominant concepts related to one’s identity are explored whilst unveiling a message of equal worth and value to develop a healthy sense of self.
The Shine Program and Strength Program was originally designed as a single-sex program due to the vulnerable nature of certain target population groups. However, this does not mean the program cannot be facilitated in mixed-sex groups, as gender-conscious work can occur in both single-sex and mixed-sex settings.
The JET Program is designed for a primary school level and to be facilitated in a mixed-sex settin
It is up to the discretion of the facilitating organisation to determine the most suitable group structure. As long as a safe space can be created for participants, the outcomes can be reached.
