“Who We Are – Identities & Relationships” is an experiential learning programme designed for MYP 1 learners at VAMA – The Boot Camp. It introduces students to identity, group dynamics, emotions, and responsible participation through structured physical and problem-solving challenges.
Through guided team tasks, rotating responsibility roles, reflection checkpoints, and facilitated dialogue, students explore how their choices influence group outcomes. They examine perspective, communication, and self-regulation while building trust and cooperative habits in a structured outdoor environment.
The programme strengthens emerging leadership skills, emotional awareness, resilience, and collaborative decision-making, helping students understand not just how to work in a team, but how to contribute meaningfully within one.
Students strengthen Thinking, Social, Research, Communication, and Self-Management Skills as they analyse ethical situations, investigate environmental and social realities, collaborate in service activities, listen empathetically, reflect deeply, manage responsibilities, and design meaningful actions.
Students explore how identity is shaped by beliefs and experiences; understand human rights and responsibilities; develop empathy and ethical thinking; examine justice and fairness; appreciate human–environment interdependence; and plan responsible actions that support people and the planet.
Students demonstrate empathy and ethical awareness, articulate identity and values responsibly, explain rights and responsibilities, collaborate respectfully, engage meaningfully in community work, propose action solutions, and reflect thoughtfully on how choices influence social and environmental well-being.
