There are other PSHE programmes which encourage children to think well of themselves and be positive in their relations to others. Why is Alive to the World different?
Alive to the World is centred on the specifically Christian teaching that joy and fruitfulness in life come from the gift of self in service to others. Love often involves elements of sacrifice. Alive to the World uses stories as a catalyst to show how this applies in ordinary life and to encourage children and young people to expect more of themselves while being proud of their achievements. While much of the material will be similar to that in other programmes, it is essentially other-centred rather than self-centred, and is based on established Christian morality rather subjective values.
