Make Every Step Count! 2016 - 2018

Module 1 - Improving confidence and self-esteem/ Self-belief
techniques; the power of thoughts

Upper Secondary School
Aged 14-19 yrs

We approached this module using a variety of
activities. Our Social sciences students worked
in Italian and Psychology classes doing some
research and exploring the topic also from a
theoretical point of view, our students worked
in groups where they discussed and debated
the power or negative and positive thoughts
and produced PowerPoint presentations.
Other groups enrolled in drama classes on old
Greek drama to raise confidence and thus,
self-esteem and at the end of their preparation
joined the international competition of
“Theatre for Youth” with a final performance
“Alularia” based on a classical comedy by Drama Competition
Aristophanes. Students designed the scenery
and the costumes, played the music and acted
on the stage. In these activities about 40
students had been involved and succeeded
in overcoming personal fears feeling more
confident and aware of their skills.
