✅ Being Human – kindness, honesty, empathy, courage, gratitude, and strength of character

✅ Connection – building relationships that inspire and uplift

✅ Enterprise – encouraging initiative, responsibility, and self-reliance

Our movement is based on the principle that every individual has the capacity to make a difference in their lives and communities.

As Margaret Mead famously said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

The challenges faced by young people today - lack of opportunities, mental health struggles, and fear of violence -can be overcome with the right tools and mindset.

🟢 Unlocking Potential – helping individuals discover their strengths and unique contributions

At its core, the Champions philosophy is about strengthening human agency - the ability to make choices, act, and shape one's own future.

Champions is based on seven core principles that lead to relationships of trust:

1. Self-Awareness – gaining clarity about who you are and your purpose
2. ️Self-Esteem – recognising that every person matters
3. ️Respect – understanding others and valuing their contributions
4. ️Empathy – building connections through shared experiences
5. ️Honesty – authenticity as the foundation of trust
6. Integrity – aligning actions with values
7. Eudaimonia – true happiness through a well-lived life

We focus on three key processes:

✔️ Understanding Self & Others
✔️ Managing Relationships & Conflict Resolution
✔️ Building & Maintaining Personal Capacity

Champions Six-Step Process

The Champions programme follows a six-step process, which can be taken as a full programme or in specific components. It is designed to ignite a lifelong journey of learning and growth.

Enterprise & Employability

One of the key outcomes of the Champions programme is employability and enterprise.

We equip individuals with both human skills (resilience, leadership, and teamwork) and technical skills to thrive in the workforce or start their own ventures.

Champions is backed by world-class methodologies, including:

🔹 Mattering – ensuring people feel valued and make valued contributions. (Isaac & Ora Prilleltensky)

🔹 Hope Action Theory – empowering individuals to shape their future. (Spencer Niles, Norman Amundson, Hyung Joon Yoon)

🔹 Belbin Team Roles – creating high-performing individuals and teams. (Meredith Belbin)

🔹 Nonflict – transforming conflict into productive outcomes. (Amir Kfir & Stephen Hecht)

🔹 Peace & Values Education – breaking cycles of violence by strengthening empathy and responsibility. (Aegis Trust)

Champions isn’t just a programme - it’s a movement of Champions who transform lives.
