‘I Can’ Workshop For Teenagers

This workshop explores the concept of Growth Mindset. It examines why teenagers might find it
hard to learn, understand how they learn and the importance of reflection. They are given
strategies to help them face challenges in their learning, cope with failure and understand the
power of yet.

The feedback that we have received from parents, carers and professionals show that following
attendance at a workshop, teenagers are demonstrating the following:

• Increased motivation in areas which they historically have found difficult.
• Willingness to take on new challenges and try new things even if there is a risk they may fail.
• Greater determination and resilience
• A greater sense of identity and self-belief.
• A new commitment that if they try hard and put the effort in, anything is possible.

Help your teen understand why they might find things difficult and how to overcome feelings of low
confidence and anxiety. It is amazing to watch children develop the skills and strategies they need
to create change for themselves personally, socially and academically.
