We design, create and facilitate specific publications and courses spanning from KS1 to KS3 and young adults enabling young people to follow a complete journey of wellbeing through their youth- the best bit is that our young people shape the publications and courses themselves through feedback and activity working in focus and development groups.
With years of experience in the wellbeing industry, it became obvious that our young people need a different way forward when tackling health and wellbeing.
Millions have been spent on deciding what our youngsters need to improve overall fitness, but rarely have they been asked what THEY want. Our society is very much led by teaching from above – down, rather than listening from below – up!
This is where we come in!
We initially designed MOG (My Own Guide to…) for KS2, through various focus groups with primary school pupils and teachers. This project has adapted vastly over the pilot period, and we now have a dynamic, fun and supportive 6-week course. Through delivery, we were then asked to produce a version for younger children in KS1, this is our Mini MOG, in addition to an older version, My Own Journal to Live Well.
Each publication has been designed with actual beneficiaries, therefore tailored to the wants and needs of our young people.
In 2023 and 2024 we will currently be working with school across Cumbria. To secure your schools place enquire with Megan our project lead at Megan@icanwellbeing.co.uk
