The Bina programme Focuses on Building Knowledge and

Confidence of 11-13 year olds, so they can make informed choices, and lead healthy, safe, responsible and fulfilled lives.The programme also improves 3 key skills:• Critical thinking• Literacy• Communications


It achieves this by using graphic illustrated ‘easily-relate-to’ stories about four teens around six themes:• Integrity• Respect• Dealing with disappointment• Reliability• Accountability• Courage


Programme Concept We believe it is important to build these skills

at this age because this is when teenagers start to:

Seek to be independentForm close peer relationshipsBe more easily swayedAssert their identityChallenge authority


Shona has to stand up for what is right.



I saw my friend Moo stealing, and the police are asking if I know about it. Should I tell

them?

Aaliyah is tested to see

if she is a reliable

babysitter.


Yeah, Christine, I

am sorry too but I must

be at Shona’s

party today.

Aaliyah, I am sorry to hear

you are ill tonight, we will have to

cancel all our plans.


Isn’t that Aaliyah? I thought

Christine said she was too ill to babysit

tonight?


Laila learns respect goes both ways – she has to give to get.



They can

stand, I got here

first!

Why can’t people respect

others in the library? It is for reading not talking!


Moo has to deal with the disappointment of his dad moving away.



How could dad leave for Spain after all the plans we made, and

without telling me?

Moo, this is the deal: we are

going out to steal tonight, and we

will split anything we make equally.

Ok?
