This part of the programme is about your future and it is a chance for you to do some positive thinking in this uncertain time
As you work through the activities, you might want to discuss your thoughts and ideas with someone in your household or your friends.
Listed below are 7 sections for you to work through – tick off each section as you complete it. Make sure you read through all of the information in the PDFs and use the instructions to find out what you need to do. Don’t do it all in one go – pace yourself and create a schedule that works for you and work through the sections over a number of days or weeks.
You have three choices for how you record your results for each activity:
1. Use a pen and paper to write down your answers
2. Print the iCan Poster and Golden Ticket worksheet so you can write on it
3. Download the iCan Poster and Golden Ticket worksheet and type your answers
