Be-Free conducted a series of specialized training workshops. One workshop was “It’s my right to understand my rights” which concentrates on some of the main concepts of Child Rights in the Child Rights Convention, and how to deliver it to children in age-appropriate ways. The training tackled important differences, such as differentiating between Essential rights in the family, and the luxurious things children love to buy or have, and the difference between parents respecting their opinions and the role of their parents in protecting and disciplining them.

After launching “Instilling Universal Knowledge” Project in February 2014, Be-Free conducted several Introductory meetings, that were attended by school principals, supervisors, and teachers to discuss the project, its applications, and its effects on the schools, students, teachers, parents, and the community, on the long and short term.

Be-Free Program started a new series of workshops for parents, that has received a large turnout. These workshops have been conducted for parents of children and teens with disability as well. This series focuses on two key elements that underlie the empowerment of parents and helping them in building the Humane and responsible personality of their children in an interactive and experience sharing environment. The first element is the importance of the Human existence, that helps children and teens in raising their self-esteem, increasing their self-worth, taking responsibility, choosing success, building self-motivation, etc.

A Humanistic Perspective” which is intended for parents of children with disability, was launched and its main topics were discussed along with the sought change.

One of the important goals of Be-Free Program is to convey the ideas and concepts that support the parents in building confidence, strong relationships with their children, creating a family environment that contributes in developing children’s personalities, and protecting them from abuse. To achieve this goal, Be-Free utilizes different ways such as conducting a variety of workshops for parents in schools, clubs, social centers, etc. And publishing informative booklets in different subjects, which get disseminated electronically and as hard copies, in addition to the articles, and weekly cards that the program posts on different social media channels, such as instagram, twitter, facebook, and whatsapp.

After the success of “Color Your Life With Your Choices” Series of Booklets, and the great demand from the administration, parents, and students of intermediate and secondary schools to conduct training workshops for students on the topics of this series, Be-Free created a new design for the booklets to be more attractive for parents and students. More scenarios, and interactive questions were added to help students think, analyze, and make decisions in difficult situations they might go through.

Be-Free Program released a trainer’s guide for a series of workshops titled “I’m an Influential Person” for children in Primary School. It includes the details of four workshops: “I'm a Leader and Influential”, ”I Have Whatever I Need to Create Positive Influence”, “My Ethical Personality”, “I Create Opportunities for Influence”. These workshops seek to instill the importance of the child’s humanistic existence in this world, and increasing his self-esteem in addition to focusing on his ability to positively influence his surroundings, and community.

Be-Free added a new training guide to the training guides it develops for the benefit of teachers, trainers, and those who work with children and teens. This guide “I Love My Family and Interact with It” is for children in primary school, and consists of four workshops designed in a way that adds fun, excitement, and interaction for children, and on the other hand it is very easy to follow and apply for the teachers and trainers. The guide contains details that help teachers and trainers to apply these workshops at schools, clubs, or any other place without additional cost, and utilizing simple tools.
The title of the four training workshops are as follows: “My parents’ Love is honest and does not change” , “My Humanistic Presence in My Family is Important”, “I Am Active and Influential in My Family”, and “I Contribute in the Development of My Family”. Each workshop consists of a dynamic introductory exercise, and an interactive and fun main exercise where all the children participate and reach the conclusion together.

Be-Free is still conducting its various workshops to private and public schools, children and youth clubs, social centers, social and cultural gatherings, and others, in their premises, and in Be-Free building. These workshops are conducted for different age groups, mainly children, teens, parents, and specialists in areas related to children.
