Session Design

Structured Session

What are “structured” sessions in Life Skills Curriculum?

The curriculum outlines structured sessions that focus on building specific life skills and include
clear activity steps, discussion questions, personal story instructions and reflection prompts.

CHECK-IN (5 MINUTES) Instruct the learners to quickly check-in with themselves about
their moods using several, fun questions.

LIFE SKILLS ACTIVITY (15 MINUTES) Facilitate given activities focused on developing
healthy behaviours related to one targeted life skill. Note that each life skill activity includes
activity steps, discussion questions and a space for facilitators to prepare personal stories
to share with the learners.

REFLECTION (10 MINUTES)

•  Lead a discussion on key messages or life skills focused on that day's session. Ask
  the learners for feedback on what they learned during the session and how they
  can connect lessons to real life.
• Address any conflict that occurred during the session and how the group can
  resolve it.
•  Praise a participant for at least one strength that they demonstrated during the
  session.
