What would you do?
PLAN
• Number each corner of the room to correspond to the options in each situation
– one corner will be ‘open’ for other responses
• Explain the activity to the group: you will read out a scenario and they’ll need to
choose what they would do
DO
• Read each scenario and give young people time to pick a response
• Ask a few young people in each corner about their choices, what are the
advantages and disadvantages
WHAT NEXT?
• Review the activity by asking young people to talk about what they learned from
the activity (see development pack for evaluation ideas)
• Instead of asking questions, ask small groups to role play each situation
• Ask young people to write their own scenarios to use with the group

NEXT STEPS
• Challenge young
people to conduct
a survey on
determination and
courage to show
how many people
in the centre
understand the
values and what
workers can do to
make sure they are
used in their day
to day practice
DO
PLAN
Young People’s Challenge:
Determination & Courage Survey
• Discuss the findings
of the survey,
particularly how
young people can be
encouraged to speak
out on issues and be
supported to set and
achieve their goals
• Repeat the same
exercise but looking
at all the PRIDE
values and their
impact on young
people and youth
work
Cultural Challenge: Creative

Aims
Objectives
Outcomes
• AIMS
• Becoming a ‘creative explorer’ by exploring the Olympics through creation, investigation and
performance
• OBJECTIVES
• Completing a cultural challenge that promotes creativity, investigation, innovation and performance
around the values of determination and courage
• OUTCOMES
• Understanding how we can use creative skills to speak out and set goals, using reflective thinking,
applying the Olympic message to your own life, developing creative skills, working individually and as
a team, expressing understanding of the values of determination and courage creatively
• POWER OF WORDS
• Get young people to
brainstorm ideas
around courage and
determination and
write words up on flip
chart paper. Now break
the words down into
feelings, actions and
situations (underline
each group with
different coloured
pen). Split the group
into smaller groups and
ask them to make a
phrase linking 3 words
from each group – ask
them to use the phrase
as the basis for a
poster
INDIVIDUAL
• GREET, ARGUE, MAKE
UP
• ask young people to
move around the room
then tell them to get
into pairs and greet
each other as if they
are long lost friends.
Repeat and this time
get into new pairs and
argue. Repeat but with
their new partner they
need to make up. You
can do this a few times,
encouraging the group
to go more over the
top each time! This is a
great energy releaser
and gets young people
speaking up
SMALLER GROUPS
LARGE GROUP
Icebreakers
• DRAW IT
• Give each young
person a piece of paper
and ask them to do a
drawing themed on
determination and/or
courage. Either ask
each young person to
introduce their drawing
and what it represents
and why or display
them all on a wall and
ask other young people
to guess who did each
drawing and what it
represents.
Discussion Points
PRINT THEM OFF!
STICK THEM UP!
GET PEOPLE TALKING!
Need more ideas? Use the ‘Know Your Values’ quiz (see online resources)
to kick start some great conversations
Discussion Points
Are we born with courage and determination or are they
qualities we have to develop as we grow up?
Think of an artist – could be a singer, film maker, painter,
musician etc. – who has shown courage and/or
determination: why do you think they had to have those
qualities and how did they show them?
What’s your favourite song/poem/piece of art that
shows the values of courage and/or determination (try
and find a copy to share with other young people)? Why
do you think it shows those values?
Quick & Easy Tasters:

Make your own
video of a story that

• Review the
groups
responses and
ask them to use
these ideas to
develop a collage
about the way
we typically see
Paralympians
and the way that
Aimee Mullins is
challenging ideas
about disability,
courage and
determination
WHAT NEXT
• Show the group
the image of
Aimee and record
their responses.
Now show the 2nd
image of her –
how do their
responses
change? Think
about the values
of determination
& courage – how
does Aimee
embody them?
Does the fact that
she is beautiful
change the way
we see her
disability?
REVIEW
• Print off the
information
about Aimee,
including the 2
photos. Make
sure you have art
and collage
materials
• Think about the
way young
people express
courage to speak
out and
determination to
set goals and
achieve them just
as Aimee Mullins
does
DO
PLAN

• Watch the video
about Aimee and
her 12 pairs of
legs and their

• Work in small

Aimee Mullins
Aimee Mullins
Aimee Mullins is a model, actress and world record holding athlete, despite being born with
no bones in her legs below the knees (fibula).
Aimee had her legs amputated below the knee on her fist birthday. Facing life in a
wheelchair she quickly learnt to walk with prosthetic legs and became active in a variety of
sports including skiing. She won triple gold at the 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta, USA breaking
3 world records in the process.
Since retiring from sport she has become a successful model and actress. In 1999 she
modelled for Alexander McQueen in a pair of beautiful brown boots. It was only the next
day that people realised they were intricately carved wooden legs. She has also played a
cheetah woman on film and starred in TV adverts.
Aimee has won many awards and is regularly voted one of the most beautiful women in the
world. She told Oprah Winfrey “Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's
much sexier than any body part”.

Young People’s Challenge: Photographing
Courage & Determination
PLAN & DO
NEXT STEPS
Make sure young people have access to a camera –
they can use the camera on their phone or you could
provide some cheap disposable cameras. Challenge
them to take photographs over the course of a week
that reflect the values of determination and courage,
however they want to interpret them – it could be a
person, a weathered tree, a ruined building still
standing. Then ask them choose their best shots and
think about why they best express the values of
determination and courage
Decide which images best capture the Olympic values
of ‘determination & courage’ then:
- Create an album of images with a few sentences
about what the image means
- Create an online album with accompanying music
chosen by young people
- Vote on the image that best represents determination
and courage and have it blown up to hang in your
centre as part of an Olympic Values display
- Use each image as part of a mosaic
