Self Exploration Sessions for Teens: “Exploring the Treasure Chest”
Most individuals find the adolescent years very challenging, mainly because this is the time for the
process of transformation to becoming an adult. These include both physical and psychological changes.
Often it involves efforts of trying to fit in with the group and giving in to peer pressure. This is the time
where most teens find life confusing and many try to find themselves in various experimentations to help
them ‘find’ themselves and where they ‘fit’ in the world.
This workshop aims at helping the individual to explore their true self through the process of creative
arts.
Objectives
1. To create self awareness and to be in touch with their authentic self
2. To help set long term goals and help explore and formulate ways to help achieve them
3. To be in touch with, and to be able to draw strength from the hero within
4. To explore and work on resolving issues which may be blocking the individual’s path of reaching
their fullest potential
5. To help explore the creative potential of each individual
6. To do all the above while having some FUN!
