Training - Programmes for Children & Young People
Ripple Effect
The Ripple Effect is our flagship Secondary School programme, focused on teamwork and leadership for a selected group of 12 students (in year 8 or 9).
It is delivered by 2 of our facilitators over 3 days and is suitable for a range of students facing different challenges which may be connected to resilience, confidence, attendance, behaviour, or experiencing harms to identity.
Through circles discussions and group activities, students learn about the 3 R’s of Restorative Practice – Respect, Relationships and Responsibility.
The programme supports young people to:
-
Strengthen peer relationships
-
Develop understanding of difference
-
Build confidence to stand up to prejudice and discrimination
-
Develop skills and language to respond to conflict and harm
Students are invited to re-imagine themselves as leaders within their school community, and to work with school staff to identify next steps and actions to ripple out their learning across their school community.
Capture
Our 3 days together are captured in the production of a very special 70-page A5 booklet recording their unique learning experience and individual certificates of recognition. These booklets and certificates are presented at a celebration event, with their peers as witnesses. This creates an opportunity for them to share and cascade their restorative learning.
