Discover your strengths and take your next step with purpose

A three-day personal-development experience for teenagers and young adults, facilitated by educator and accredited facilitator Tiaan de Waal.

Through practical activities, conversation and personal reflection, participants explore how they think, what influences them, and the choices they can make in everyday life.

Ages 13 to young adult · Maximum 16 learners · Three days · 09:00–17:00 daily

Practical skills for everyday life

  • Recognise personal strengths and sources of support.
  • Question assumptions and practise fairer, more helpful self-talk.
  • Develop small habits and respectful ways to communicate.
  • Turn a personally meaningful goal into manageable actions.
  • Prepare a plan for continuing after the workshop.

Your three-day journey

Day 1 — Discover

Explore the choices you can make, the voices you listen to, the connection between thoughts and actions, and strengths you already use.

Day 2 — Develop

Examine habits and beliefs, recognise your value beyond results, and practise manageable steps outside your comfort zone.

Day 3 — Move forward

Review your priorities, build a realistic goal, identify your next action and prepare a plan for restarting when motivation changes.

Learning that continues

Participants use the Agapedo Development Workbook to capture their learning. They leave with a personal action plan, a letter to their future self and their own Agapedo commitment. A seven-day group follow-up provides time to review first attempts and adjust the plan.
