Our Programme
The Realising Identity Intervention (RII) Programme is our transformative anthropological and evidence-based intervention programme, It is specifically designed for children and young people aged 8 to 17 years old. We delve into key focus areas of identity including ethnicity, heritage, traditions values and beliefs systems, cuisine, dance, music, arts and fashion.
​
The 6 - 12 week programme is led by passionate youth justice professionals, creatives and experts in anthropology. The sessions can be structured on a weekly or block-basis delivery, each session lasting 2 to 3-hours. The design of these sessions ensures we actively engage and inspire children/young people. Our goal is to provide a rich exploration of identity, fostering a deep connection with their roots.
We explore heritage, ancestry, ethnicity, and culture to shape a profound sense of self. Our team of specialists and consultants employ an evidence-based approach, guiding children towards a deeper understanding of their ‘roots’. By equipping them with a strong sense of identity and introducing the concept of agency, we empower children to make positive choices.
​
We focus on 5 key areas
01
Empowering self-discovery
We guide children/young people to explore their heritage, ethnicity, and culture, fostering a positive mindset, well-being, self-worth, and agency. This reduces attraction to negative peers.
03
Nuturing self-confidence
Our environment cultivates self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-realisation in children/young people and their families.
02
Uncovering true identity
We help children/young people research and discover their origins, ancestry, and cultural legacy. Our anthropological evidence-based approach promotes holistic positive development.
04
Fostering family cohesion
We bring together children/young people and their families to discuss and explore ancestry, fostering unity in significant family units and communities.
05
Empowering agency, reducing offending
Through self-awareness and understanding, we enable children/young people to know 'WHO THEY ARE' and embrace agency, significantly reducing the likelihood of offending and reoffending due to seeking affirmation from negative peers and others
