Teenhood a stressful process for both children and parents. The change does not only concern the educational part. It’s part of a bigger change: from childhood to adolescence, from dependence to independence, from the familiar to the unknown, from being protected to risk management, from friendships to relationships. Understanding and support from parents and the school environment is essential. But what makes the difference is the way the teenagers see themselves and take action. Our goal at YoungStars is to provide teenagers with tools that will help them better understand themselves, communicate their needs and respond positively and actively to the challenges they encounter in their daily lives.

Technology is constantly changing and transforming the way we live. Knowledge is necessary but it is not what differentiates us. Today’s demands have more and more to do with how we use what we know, that is, our skills: critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and how we function as members of society, that is, our character and ethos. Each child is unique and has his or her own talents. By reinforcing the values and positive elements of his/her character we can equip him/her to feel capable of managing learning and adopting. If knowledge is power, then learning is a super power.

Formal Education (FE) deals with the traditional way of learning – teaching, studying and assessment through standardized examinations. Non Formal Education takes place through carefully designed and tailored activities aimed at learning and cultivating skills in experiential ways. Much more than the formal education, non-formal puts the learners in the centre of the learning process and makes them “collaborators” in the co-creation of knowledge. It is, after all, a common acceptance that experiential education reaches places that formal education and has a long term outcome.

Youngstars Programs are designed to help teenagers become aware, expand their thinking in creating more choices, focusing best when taking decisions and implementing when it comes to action. These empower them, make them feel resilient and agile, happy to deal with what is in front of them and optimist about change and the future.
