Website Summary
Respect matters. In a world of differences — in background, beliefs, and behaviour — the MYND Respect Programme helps young people understand how to show respect for themselves, others, and the communities they live in.
Split into four interactive and engaging modules, the programme explores self-respect, respectful relationships, and how to create a culture of dignity and fairness in the wider world. It challenges prejudice, builds empathy, and shows how respect is a two-way street that helps young people become more confident, resilient, and connected.
Module 1: What Is Respect? – An Introduction
“Everyone deserves respect – including you.”
This opening module lays the groundwork for the entire Respect Programme. Through thought-provoking questions and accessible stories, young people explore what respect means — not just admiration for celebrities or authority but something more profound and universal.
The module helps learners:

– Reflect on times they’ve felt disrespected and why it mattered.
– Explore the link between respect and human rights.
– Understangenuineat genuine respect goes beyond looks, money or status.

Module 2: My Self-Respect
“Respect begins with how you see yourself.”
This powerful module helps young people strengthen their sense of self-worth — a critical skill for anyone facing peer pressure, self-doubt or social comparison. It shows that self-respect isn’t about arrogance or showing off but about being grounded, responsible, and proud of who you are.

Module 3: My Relationship Respect
“A healthy relationship is built on mutual respect — not control.”
In this module, young people explore what respectful relationships look and feel like — from friendships to romantic partnerships. They learn to communicate better, set boundaries, and recognise what’s healthy versus toxic.
Participants are guided through:
– 10 key behaviours that build respect in any relationship.
– How to show appreciation, offer compliments, and earn trust.
– Ways to handle disagreement without disrespect.

Module 4: My World Respect
“Respect isn’t just personal — it’s global.”
