A Space to reflect on… Our Adolescent Years: Developing a Spirit of Enquiry
This resource encourages young people to explore their evolving sense of self and the world around them.
A Space to Reflect on… Adolescent Years: Developing a Spirit of Enquiry highlights adolescence as a time of questioning – about identity, relationships, emotions, and societal structures – emphasising that curiosity and reflection are key to personal growth. Through guided prompts, it encourages young people to examine their beliefs, emotions and experiences while learning to navigate challenges with self-awareness and resilience.
The resource also stresses the importance of balanced thinking, showing how past experiences shape self-perception and how negative self-talk can be reframed. It encourages young people to challenge limiting beliefs, embrace complexity in emotions,and recognise their capacity for change. By fostering a spirit of enquiry, it aims to equip adolescents with the tools to think critically, engage with the world more deeply and shape their own path with confidence.
