Games that help young people develop resilience, positive thinking, and become engaged in active citizenship have been developed by SuperMe, an online games website inspired by the resilience resources at the School of Everything .
The website helps young people to develop skills in the areas of ‘wisdom’, ‘ability’, ‘influence’ and ‘connection’ through games and inspiring videos from celebrities. The project has been supported by Channel 4, and has already garnered a fair bit of press attention.
This project is interesting in its attempt to utilise activities that already appeal to a youth market (videos, celebrities, games) to promote self-improvement and cultivate reflection, ambition, and resilience in those who visit the website.
As with the ventures that the Learning Launchpad supports, the idea behind SuperMe is to engage young people on a level that will interest them, and one that isn’t condescending or patronising, and offers a programme that enables personal development in a fun and innovative way.
