“I Am An Important Person” &
“I Choose My Words Smartly”
Bahrain - Be-Free Young
Girls & Boys Program
Bahrain - Be-Free Center
conducted two young girls' and boys' training workshops for each participating
age group, in the summer program that focuses on skills to deal with the
self and others in a way that contributes in building personality and enhance
self-esteem.
In all the workshops children
learn that these skills are available for both girls and boys, and that
learning these skills well, regardless of their gender, helps in building the
concept that both girls and boys are equal, and becomes part of their belief
system.
The first workshop "I'm an important person" focused on the
importance of each human person in general, and that every child is important
and respected. Every child is a human being created by God, and has a
special effect in this world. This first workshop contributed to
helping children respect themselves and consider their human value, as well as
respect others.
The second workshop “I choose
my words smartly”, aimed at delivering concepts that helped children to pick
their words, not only to be free of irony and cynicism and indifference, but to
be polite, show respect to others, and to have better communication
with them. When the child gives herself/himself a chance to think of the
words that come out of her mouth, and chooses them carefully, this
trains her to control herself and what she says in different
situations, especially those that are difficult and delicate This
Bahrain Be-Free Center training contributes to making her/him feel
that what she says and the words she chooses has importance and
effect on herself and others, which in turn contributes in raising
self-esteem and ability to interact with others.
