Ready, Set, Goal was a step further from our Training Course Ready, Set, Go. The youth that attend Right to Smile’s groups had expressed an interest in an exchange last year. In Ready, Set, Goal the goal was to improve our youth’s socialising skills, sense of self (Personality traits, abilities, likes and dislikes, belief systems/moral code, motivations) and self-esteem through outdoor education and included both sports and artistic components. Art and Sport share commonalities. For example, they are all grounded in teamwork, at least art in terms of theatre and team sports. Painting on the other hand has been proven to be a good therapy and in fact there is ‘art therapy’ as a professional field. Art therapy's significance is critical during adolescence since this is the period when adolescents express creativity and are coherently concerned with their individuality (Liesbeth Bosgraaf et al, 2020). Leadership skills are also essential for both sport and arts and such skills are important for the youth’s sense of self and to see their role in a group setting. Most prominently, both sports and arts have been proven to increase self-esteem. While working together, youth would receive constructive criticism to improve as well as compliments which increases their confidence and will to engage in more sports and arts. Sports and arts usually also entail an audience which encourages the youth to continue. Outdoor education is also valued for its ability to develop relationships and to provide learning opportunities. It helps to build and further foster meaningful and productive relationships between youth workers and youth. In outdoor education, usually there is a trek to an outdoor space which could be used for one to one or small group informal conversations that help to build relationships (Love letters to services past: risk and outdoor education in youth work (2017), Harris-Evans, Jean Mary). Moreover, both sport and art require reflection time before, during and after to analyse what is the strategy or meaning which is usually led by a youth worker or youth(s) acting as the leader(s). Nowadays, our youth have problems socialising as they have less opportunities for face-to-face interactions. Moreover, issues of low self-esteem, and sometimes self-harm are prevalent. These are not new issues but we are continuously seeking new ways to tackle them. Youth sometimes find it hard to relate to each other but especially to their youth workers or other adults. The main aim of this project was to improve the youth’s socialisation skills, sense of self and self-esteem and resilience by making use of outdoor education, sports and arts. The objectives of this youth exchange were: -Fostering individual resilience, positive self-esteem and coping mechanisms as by-products of outdoor education. -Promoting respectful human connections amongst participants - Equipping youths with soft skills regarding socialisation, including team building and resilience through engagement in outdoor activities - Enabling connection and fostering respect for the surrounding environment through outdoor activities. -Breaking barriers and working in a multicultural environment through outdoor activities which transcend cultures and nationalities
