The loss of facilitated Rites of Passage have impacted significantly on our communities and contribute to many of the issues we see amongst teenagers and young adults. By integrating academics, personal development and outdoor education components of the curriculum, there is a perfect opportunity in Schools to support the transition of boys to young and girls to young women by teaching them critical 21st-century life skills, how to develop healthy relationships and using a growth mindset.
In this presentation, Dr Arne Rubinstein will identify the key elements that make up a Rite of Passage and how he and his organisation (The Rites of Passage Institute) are supporting children and young adults move forward through the key transitions stages of their lives in Schools and organisations in Australia and around the world.
