Understanding
The :more programme – the way to understand complexity in broader perspectives
The :more programme is directly connected with the academic area of the school.Through the activities students learn differently and effectively about a particular subject.
Students not only study a range of subjects, but they also explore subjects outside the classroom, which helps them to better understand different topics. They are also able to make connections between subjects and studied topics. Thanks to the activities and challenges, the :more programme encourages students to acknowledge the ethical impact of people’s actions and behaviour.
Most importantly, the :more programme helps students to see that the world is very fascinating in its diversity and certainly worth exploring.
Development
The :more programme – the way to support the whole person development
The :more activities develop the all-round personality of each student, discover talents, support the community and bring pleasure to the lives of individuals and to the school. It supports all kinds of creativity, which is very often the key element for developing a young person into a self-confident and balanced adult.
The :more programme also brings such elements into the school life, which are crucial for building good community based on functioning relationships.
The :more programme is therefore directly connected with our pastoral care, as the tutor helps a tutee to identify areas that need to be developed, very often the activities help students to overcome difficult time in their life. At the end of the school year tutors reflect how a student has developed as a whole person throughout the school year thanks to the :more programme, the tutor’s guidance and above all, thanks to the student’s own initiatives.
