Focus on Life skills is integral to the Arivu- Disha programme.
Life skills @ Arivu
Life skills are abilities that help us to adapt and behave positively so that we can deal effectively with the challenges of everyday life.
Arivu’s English content has been designed keeping in mind the need to develop psychosocial skills – cognitive, affective and social skills, amongst students. It is been realised that such emotional and social skills play an important role in the holistic development of a child. When it gets ignored, it often leads to adults who strive to live in harmony with others.
Arivu curricula encourages freedom to think and speak, listen to others, group activities and discussions. This helps students to develop self-confidence, control over their emotions, attitude to respect others views and emotions etc.
Building life skills in children and adolescents and providing them with psychosocial support in schools and other community settings can help promote good mental health.
Life Skills @ Disha
Arming adolescents with required skills and guidance to help them choose a right career path is best done within the education system. ‘Disha’ career guidance programme is to create awareness amongst students about various vocation and academic opportunities.
In addition to this, Disha also provides exposure to options that will help in overall personal growth & development in student’s life.
