Session One: My Hopes, My Dreams
Objectives
By the end of the session the children will be able to:- Talk about the hopes and wishes of children and
how they visualize the future; - Identify a role model and define the qualities
they would like to acquire; and - Understand how values, wants and needs
influence the decisions that affect a child’s future.
Key Points
A role model helps to anchor a child’s dreams of
becoming a better person and leading a better life.
Choosing and understanding the qualities of a role
model can motivate the young person towards
acquiring those same qualities. In this way, young
people can set personal goals for themselves.
Visualizing a brighter future is a motivating force to
look beyond the needs of the immediate present.An additional activity on wants and needs may be
conducted before Activity Two if children need to
differentiate between realistic goals and goals that
may be difficult to obtain.
