STAGE 1 - DISCOVERING WHO YOU ARE

# BE YOU NOT THEM

# YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH

PURPOSE:

A key to having a healthy and happy life is knowing who you are and what matters most to you.

When we know ourselves, we can have more respect, confidence and security within ourselves, and be able to make choices that align with who we want to be.

This Design Project gives us an opportunity to make something that is all about you - helping you explore your identity and things that matter to you. We will be making little paper pockets that you can fill and decorate with photos, special notes and memories, things you love - all yours. These can be kept in your diaries, wallets or wherever you choose.

Keep them as a reminder of what matters to you, of course this can change over time, but don’t let other people’s opinions change it. You choose who you are and what’s important to you.

Let’s discover our unique characteristics and explore our identity, giving us strength to better face whatever comes our way.
