The Soar Foundation
School Workshops
The Soar Foundation delivers preventative programmes, focusing on the well-being of all young people in the school system, and transition year students.
“Invaluable. A few hours spent tapping into students’ hearts and minds with an emphasis on listening and sharing in a safe environment.”
Our flagship Ignition workshop is one of the best school workshops in the country.
The Soar Foundation delivers preventative programmes, focusing on the well-being of all young people. These programmes are designed to increase a young person's self-awareness so they have greater emotional management and agility, can cope better with everyday challenges, and develop their inner confidence to fulfil their potential.
Soar delivers day long programmes to teenagers in the school system all over Ireland. Our workshops are designed to provide engaging, authentic, and transformative environments for the young people. Our programmes have been created with the input of leading experts and international research and underpinned by Soar’s commitment to training world class facilitators.
Create an environment of growth and community for your teenagers
We primarily work with Transition Year students, with flexibility for other senior cycle year groups. We also work with LCA students and Youthreach.
PREVENTIVE - The intention of our programmes is to catch teenagers up-stream and work with them to prevent more serious issues arising in their late- teens or early adulthood.
PEER TO PEER - We train young adults to deliver these programmes. That means
our facilitators are culturally relevant to the teenagers attending the workshops and have a real understanding of their teenage realities.
CHARACTER BUILDING - We recognised that schools do a brilliant job preparing students academically, but the education system needs support in preparing ‘the person’ to successfully navigate life.
DEPTH - The uniqueness of our work is the depth we engage with teenagers. Our facilitators are very highly skilled to be able to create safe and authentic environments where real conversations can occur.
Our team will be present in your school from 9am – 2pm and we deliver workshops from Tuesday to Friday.
