The United Nations Inter-Agency Meeting in April 1998
generated a broad definition of Life Skills education:
"Life skills education is
designed to facilitate the practice and reinforcement of psychosocial
skills in a culturally and developmentally appropriate way; it contributes
to the promotion of personal and social development, in the prevention
of health and social problems, and the protection of human rights."
LPI Life Skills begins with possibilities and
it creates the self-reflection and capacity to fulfill them. It
facilitates the possibility of your own participation and development
while facilitating that of others: It facilitates the possibility
of self-love, connection, collective consciousness and action for
personal and social transformation, the core principles of LPI.
It provides the knowledge base, then translates the knowledge of
what to do into how to do it and provides the enabling factors to
do so. It provides the psychosocial skills, societal, occupational
and livelihood skills to realize your possibility within 7 themes
reflecting LPI principles.
Each theme is developed in several modules. Modules are customized
to meet the needs of the specific groups. The training facilitates
acceptance of the views and knowledge of participants in a non-threatening
nurturing climate. It offers through interactive presentations the
Life Skills concepts and the internalization and practice of skills:
self awareness and monitoring, social skills of communication and
negotiation, and cognitive skills of critical thinking, creative
thinking, problem solving and decision making.
