Manual
How to develop critical thinking in schools - workshops
“Be your own leader” is a project hosted by Association TEAM4Excellence and implemented with the support of a group of 7 international volunteers, under the European Solidarity Corps (ESC) Programme.
Aims of the tool
The project aimed at increasing awareness and raising interest on critical thinking for young people.
Through non-formal education, we attempted to raise this awareness, so that they may make better choices which get them more involved in the community, boosting both their individual as well as their collective happiness and prosperity.
Description of the tool
From October 2019 to March 2020, we conducted a set of non-formal educational activities aiming at contributing to development of critical thinking and analytical skills of youth.
This manual summarizes the activities (workshops and exercises) organized during the project period.
9 activities were developed/adapted during the project and delivered to 7 schools and more than 650 young people. The workshops are:
- Create your own social media platform
- The dumbest idea
- Vision board
- International quiz
- Au contraire
- Improve your School
- Fake or true
- You can’t judge a book by its cover
- Drama activity
The manual also includes an icebreaker and an energiser, which accompanied the activities.
