Learning Support Centres

The “Hurt By Others, Healed Through Others” programme is designed specifically for students in Learning Support Centres (LSCs), which provide temporary educational support for learners with severe social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. These centres play a crucial role in offering alternative educational provisions, mentoring, and emotional development to facilitate reintegration into mainstream schooling. Recognising that many students in LSCs may already be experimenting with harmful behaviors, this programme is carried out in collaboration with KSM – Komunità Santa Marija. Through this initiative, residents currently undergoing rehabilitation at KSM engage with students, sharing their experiences and insights in an open and supportive environment. This peer-led approach helps students reflect on the consequences of substance use and risky behaviors while also providing them with guidance on emotional literacy, self-esteem, anger management, and social skills. By fostering meaningful discussions and real-life learning opportunities, the programme encourages students to make positive choices and seek healthier coping mechanisms for their challenges.

Learning Support Centres Testimonials

During the month of January, 2025, Fortini Learning Support centre in collaboration with Sedqa had the opportunity to create participation in therapeutic circles. The goal of these circles was to foster connection, healing, and personal growth by offering a safe space for all involved to speak openly and be heard without judgment. The main emphasis was on active listening, empathy, and mutual support.

This was a positive experience as students involved, aging between 11-16 have beneffited from building new connections and learning from real life testimonials.
