LG60141: Life Skills Education

This module aims to build teachers' personal competence in the ten core WHO life skills — self-awareness, coping with emotions, coping with stress, communication, interpersonal relationships, empathy, critical thinking, creative thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving — and their practical ability to teach these skills using participatory, experiential methods. It further seeks to build capacity to apply life skills to health-related risk situations such as peer pressure, substance abuse, and sexual and reproductive health, and to integrate life skills teaching across the curriculum and co-curricular school life.
