How can we support young people in the 21st century?
Young people today are growing up in a world full of opportunities, but also pressure, uncertainty, digital overload and constant change. The 21st Century Competences and Coaching manual offers an accessible look at what young people need to navigate this world, develop essential competences and take care of their mental well-being.
The publication is designed especially for youth workers, teachers, social workers, coaches and everyone who supports and accompanies young people.
In the manual, you will discover:
why young people may react more impulsively and take more risks,
how to build trust and create a safe environment,
which competences are important for life in the 21st century,
how mental health is connected to learning, motivation and resilience,
why guiding young people can be more effective than telling them what to do,
how to use open-ended questions, reflection and a coaching approach.
The manual also includes practical tools that can be used directly in your work. You will find the Wheel of Life, a gratitude journal, thought and mood tracking, values clarification, strengths discovery, success visualisation, SMART goals and a digital detox activity.
THE MANUAL combines theory with practical activities and shows how adults can support young people with sensitivity, respect and without unnecessary lecturing.
