Recreation and leisure

What does the youth choose to do in their free time? Do they have personal interests and are they able to engage in these as independently as possible?

  • Awareness: Understand available recreation and leisure activities.
  • Exploration: Identify personal strengths, preferences, interests and needs related to recreation and leisure.
  • Preparation: Practice identifying and participating in recreation and leisure activities at home, school and in the community.
  • Implementation: Engage in recreation and leisure activities at home, school and in the community as independently as possible.
