Description:
A multi-disciplinary team (educationalists, social workers, psychologists, and
medical professionals) has created the "Bold and Brave-program" through which
the youth is involved in an interactive way in the acquiring of critical life
skills. The emphasising of adult value systems complements these skills. The
curricula of the "Bold and Brave-program" include the following modules/ chapters:
Sexuality
Love
Who‘s in control of your life?
Choices
"Free sex"
"Safe sex"
Relationships
Recreation
Can I change my ways?
Motivation
Therapy
Questions and answers
The school program consists of:
A modular manual (worked out in detail)
A manual for parents
A manual for teachers
Teaching aids:
A video that encapsulates each module and serves as conversation
catalyst.
A storybook made up of literature intended to supplement each
of the modules in a creative way by means of comprehension tests. In this
way the assimilation of content is tested and retention is enhanced.
Implementation plan:
The program will be marketed as an alternative to the Government‘s non-directive
sexuality program. It is estimated that the program can be implemented in 25 periods
of 30 minutes. The program will be marketed to principals and parents. Teachers
from participating schools will be trained to present the program effectively.
Pre-and Post-implementation studies will be undertaken among parents, staff and
pupils. The affectivity of the program at each participating institution will
in so doing be calculated accurately.
