Getting Connected

Getting Connected - a Personal Development and Emotional intelligence Curriculum Framework

The University of the First Age (UFA) have taken over the management and delivery of this well respected, tried and tested and thoroughly evaluated curriculum for young people and young adults.  Read more background to Getting Connected here.

Getting Connected is a Personal development and Emotional intelligence curriculum framework for all young people and young adults. A central feature of the framework is the commitment to supporting young people and young adults to develop higher levels of emotional intelligence and self-esteem. Young adults involved with the curriculum are encouraged to explore their lives and plan for their futures. They are supported to explore their attitudes, feelings and behaviour as well as exploring their relationships with others. The framework is divided into nine units that can be addressed in any order and in a way that best suits the needs of individuals. Accreditation is available through the OCN
