Making Informed Decisions

• To promote failure as a form of growth that can positively influence the future
• To enable students to make good, informed and positive decisions
• To provide students with practical tools and a decision-making template
• To build communication skills, particularly in the digital space

This workshop will equip students with a comprehensive, soft-skills toolkit that they can refer to and rely upon throughout their educational (and life) journey. Students will leave the workshop feeling enthused, positive and prepared to step outside of their comfort zone to tackle each decision they encounter.

Making Informed Decisions is an uplifting, interactive and aspiration-raising workshop designed to improve soft skills. With a particular focus on communication, decision-making and critical-thinking skills, this workshop raises confidence and aspirations and helps develop positive attitudes towards the challenges faced both in and out of school.

This multi-sensory learning workshop is ideal for students in Years 9-13 and is tailored depending on the age of participants.

During this workshop, students will:

• Take part in a debating exercise
• Be introduced to the concept of the ‘mental fridge’
• Understand how to ‘find the filler’
• Participate in a ‘what would you do?’ decision-making activity

Students leave the workshop with:

• An expanding growth mindset
• An understanding of how their perception can build confidence
• Increased awareness around how they can develop a default positive mindset

We recommend sitting students around tables in groups of four to six in a spacious room that is conducive to learning.

Your Positively You event can be broken down as follows, depending on your timetable:

• 4 x 1-hour workshops
• 3 x 80-minute workshops
• 2 x 2-hour workshops

Each workshop can accommodate no more than 100 different students.

Making Informed Decisions can be delivered face-to-face or online.
