Kapot Sterk (translate as Incredibly Strong)

The program consists of five lessons of approximately 60 minutes long, delivered over a period of four to eight weeks. The lessons are facilitated by trained pedagogical staff (e.g., youth workers), while the school's own teachers are always present during the sessions. Lessons include active learning strategies such as role-playing, group discussions, and reflection exercises, often based on realistic and recognizable scenarios. The program focuses on strengthening key social-emotional skills, such as self-esteem, self-control, and resistance to peer pressure.
