Friendship Skills for Young People, etc. — materials for developing social skills
What it sets out to do
Through the programmes, children and young people can practise social/interaction skills independently, in a group, at school, etc.
What seems to make it work
Free material that is regularly marketed to schools. Easy to use and published in several languages. Children have their own ‘Kaveritaitoja Muumien tapaan’ (Friendship Skills the Moomin Way) (Finnish, Swedish, English, Polish, Spanish, Japanese), and there is ‘Kaveritaitoja Nuorille’ (Friendship Skills for Young People), aimed at young people (Finnish, Swedish, English, plain-language Finnish).
What gets in the way
Requires continuous marketing.
How it is funded
Development funding from STEA (the Finnish Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations) and corporate donations; upkeep funded by the Finnish Red Cross's own funding.
Moving it somewhere else
The ‘Kaveritaitoja Muumien tapaan’ (Friendship Skills the Moomin Way) programme has been translated by Red Cross societies in other countries. It requires its own platform to be built for the programme in each country.
