Aribira's School Experiential
Program is focused on promoting character education
through a range of experiential activities, physical
education, and behavior management programs.
Our experiential programs involve a range of activities
aimed at:
• Developing a set of characters,
values and skills that shape their conducts, decisions,
and choices.
• Engaging kids in activities
that make them think critically about and become
committed to ethical actions.
• Inspiring
them to work as a team |
The programs are based
on the following questions:
• What is good character?
• What influences, causes or prevent
good character?
• What is the relevance
of teamwork?
• How to develop leadership
skills?
• How to develop the skills needed
on teamwork and leadership? |
|
 |
With these ideas in
mind, Aribira's programs are student-centered approaches
that can help students achieve success and take
responsibilities over their actions.
AND, as with all programs designed by Aribira, safety
and fun are the norm. |

3. Leadership
Volunteer Program
This program aims at:
Developing Leadership Skills
Empowering Teenagers to take responsibility over
their actions, learning and watching over others;
Providing an unique opportunity to make a difference
in the world.
The Leadership Volunteer
Program (LVP) is designed for teenagers
only. The program is divided into 2 phases:
Phase I – The participants will join a program
oriented to develop leadership and initiative
skills. This part of the program aims to help
participants to achieve their potential through
experiential activities, such as low and high
ropes courses, expeditions, climbing, outrigger,
and others.
Phase II – The participants will engage
in a volunteer program of their own choice. Choices
might include: teaching kids in favelas, helping
elders in geriatric shelters, voluntering with
IBDD (an NGO for disable people), reforesting,
helping archaeologists in the museums or excavations,
assisting mountain federations or organizations
(such as FEMERJ or AGUIPERJ), helping Aribira
at the office, or any other choice they might
come up with.
A final report will be required from each participant
and from the organization where he/she volunteered.
Continuation – For participants
that excel in their programs, they will be a chance
to help Aribira’s guides in the future,
co-guiding expeditions or co-leading Leadership
Volunteer Programs.
