ResponsibleME
About Us
ResponsibleME has been working in South African since 2008.
The ResponsibleME Family.
In order to succeed academically, youth must first be able to respect and communicate effectively with each other and their educators. ‘ResponsibleME’ starts with the basics by building psychosocial skills, aiming to reduce behaviour problems and violence among learners.
Over the past ten years, ‘ResponsibleME’ has succeeded in empowering communities across South Africa. Using reinforced messaging, this program targets educators and learners to affect long term behaviour changes. Participants are encouraged to talk about social stigmas and contextual challenges and to make responsible choices.
In conjunction with building psychosocial skills, ‘ResponsibleME’ addresses a number of social, environmental and economic issues. This includes but is not limited to poverty, HIV, gender based violence and unemployment. These issues are addressed by using similar participatory frameworks to encourage dialogue, debate, discussion and growth.
