Robust Youth 16–25
The programme Robust Youth 16-25 is developed since 1999 and being used by secondary schools for youth aged 16–25 years.
Objective: Strengthening the individual's robustness and class environments and school cultures where all are included.
Outstanding MOT coaches conduct a number of engaging MOT sessions every year. The sessions are characterised by involvement, trust and energy. The youth are central and participating. The MOT coaches are experts at reaching youth and convey simple life values and let everyone get space.
Structured manuscripts combined with activities, reflections, stories, exercises and action creates a magical atmosphere and inspirational experiences that in turn contributes to strengthening youth’s ownership to the MOT values courage to live, courage to care and courage to say no – which in turn strengthens their ability to build themselves and others.
