Living Values
This program aims to empower individual children to make beneficial changes to their communities and to take responsibility for their actions.
Bullying and other social problems have unfortunately become common problems for children today. Aggression, lack of respect and impulsivity are issues that many children struggle with. Living Values Education provides children with positive experiences to help guide their choices and behaviours.
Living Values Education also focuses on the meaning and the purpose of learning by exploring the following values: peace, respect, love, cooperation, happiness, honesty, humility, responsibility, simplicity, tolerance, freedom and unity. This program aims to empower children to make beneficial changes to their communities and to take responsibility and accountability for their actions.
