Our Core Focus: A Synergistic Framework
UNICEF Life Skills
We focus on the core areas of Learning, Employability, and Personal Empowerment. This includes:
- Critical thinking & problem-solving
- Effective communication
- Collaboration & teamwork
- Resilience & self-awareness
- Financial literacy
These are the essential tools for personal well-being and economic opportunity.
UNESCO Global Citizenship Education (GCED)
We build upon this foundation by fostering a sense of global and local responsibility. Our materials encourage youth to understand and act upon critical issues like:
- Human rights & gender equality
- Cultural diversity & inclusion
- Peace & conflict resolution
- Environmental sustainability
This cultivates active citizens who are engaged in their communities.
Our Integrated Approach
We believe a young person who can critically analyze information (Life Skill) is better equipped to understand media bias (GCED). A young person who can collaborate effectively (Life Skill) can mobilize their community for a sanitation project (GCED). This synergy is the heart of the BADON methodology.
