OUR

PROGRAMS

The Global Identity Program

Our Global Identity Program (GIP) is tailored towards allowing children to self-discover and work on their passions through a project-based approach, allowing them to develop their inquiry and problem-solving skills.

​

The ultimate goal of the GIP is to empower children in orphanages to self-discover their passion and the role they want to play in an increasingly global society.

Our Programs

In order to empower these children in the orphanage and reach the vision we envision for supporting these children in care homes, Youth For Future holds various programs to engage with the children.

 

Our programs include inquiry sessions, spring and summer camps, and discovery day programs.

Programs in Detail

Inquiry Sessions

Inquiry sessions are held on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis—depending on the orphanage—and are centered around project-based learning. In these sessions, children take on the roles of various professions and careers, allowing them to explore real-world topics through experiential learning.

 

Using our learning cycle, children dive into a range of themes such as social entrepreneurship, STEM, and physical and mental health. Each unit spans approximately six months, during which children develop multiple projects designed to enhance their problem-solving skills, digital literacy, and overall sense of agency.

Spring and Summer Camp

Spring & Summer Camps are two-day programs held at the end of each semester, designed as a celebration of learning and growth. These camps provide children with a platform to present the projects they have worked on throughout the term—sharing their ideas, progress, and creativity with their peers, sponsors, and volunteers.

 

On the first day, the camp takes place at an international school, where children proudly showcase their projects, giving corporate volunteers a unique opportunity to witness firsthand the impact of their support. The second day is a fun and meaningful excursion, chosen by the children themselves and connected to the theme of their learning unit.

Discovery Day

Discovery Days allow children to design their own trips related to the topic they are investigating during the inquiry sessions. Each orphanage uses a rotation method to research, plan, and decide on a trip that children from different homes will embark on together. This collaborative planning process empowers the children by providing them with agency in co-designing the program.

Approach

Our approach for the GIP follows utilizing two main tools, which are the five life skills that are promoted in all of our programs and the learning cycle, which is an important part of the project-based learning the children go through. 

Life Skills

Social Skills

​The lifeskills of the GIP aim to be addressed throughout the whole 12-year program. All programs and classes are designed to foster the lifeskills that we aim to instill in the children we impact. These are skills that are not only addressed and reflected upon during our weekly classes, but also during the discovery day and spring/summer programs.

Thinking Skills

Improve critical thinking by learning how to evaluate information carefully and make well-informed decisions, as well as reflect on experiences and learn from them to build a balanced and insightful perspective.

Emotional Skills

Enhancing emotional intelligence by developing empathy and compassion, learning to understand and care about others' feelings. Commit to making a positive impact and being open to new perspectives and cultures.

Learning Cycle

The GIP learning cycle is designed as a guidance for the projects the children come up with during our programs. The learning cycle is a key tool that allows the children to come up with fantastic projects, while undertsanding the necessary preparations to a project possible.
