Training approach

Stronger in life .

Rise Up Now's trainings are aimed at making children stronger and more confident. This allows them to stand up for themselves in an appropriate manner without using aggression and violence.
Cognitive learning theory is central. This means that what children feel and how they behave is determined by what they think. Through this way of training, we want to help children replace negative core beliefs with positive thoughts so they can stand up for themselves in a healthy way.

In partnership with Bikkels.com .

The trainings consist of preventive, school-wide lesson plans aimed at increasing the social-emotional resilience and self-efficacy of all students. The program was developed in cooperation with Bikkels.nl. Our teams are trained locally by a trainer from Bikkels.nl. They are also supported online every two months.

Custom .

We deliver the training with materials that we have developed further. For the children in Kenya, we have adapted both the text and the drawings to their language, culture, beliefs and customs. In this we were helped by a Dutch anthropologist and a Kenyan educator. Renowned Kenyan illustrator Stanislaus Issa Olondecreated the illustrations. It is a curriculum that can serve as a basis for the future to help children in other countries on the continent of Africa.
