The Strategy

The main objective of the cycle tour is to introduce the Circle of Courage philosophy in small rural communities across Australia in order to reduce ‘at-risk’ behaviour. This will be done through evening presentations at local community venues (view itinerary).

Presenters will introduce the concept of adolescent resilience to parents and other interested adults.

They will challenge the community to take positive steps to reduce adolescent ‘at-risk’ behaviour by employing the principle of social connectedness in which the adult population takes the leading active role.

The team will also hand out a booklet containing articles about issues facing young people in rural communities and an overview of how communities can make a difference for their young people.
