This framework unpacks into four expanding circles, explaining how the learner’s experience aims to nurture a WOW Person,
focusing on Confidence as a significant part of positive Wellbeing.
Circle 1: 5-Step Growth Process
Centred at the core of the framework is a 5-step process of continuous growth to impart future-ready qualities and skills, while emphasising on the importance of our connections and contributions to the Environment and Community. This process is facilitated through three phases of Opener, Learner and Ignitor.
Circle 2: Social Movement
The Social Movement is a crucial phase of facilitated learning through active contributions and self-reflections. It is a circle we encourage learners to constantly revisit in their journey of finding meaning in their growth, and to understand the value they can provide in the process of giving.

Socio-Drama
Stimulating the freedom of expression and connecting to the human's inner child-likeness, socio-drama serves as a platform of purposeful group play to widen perspectives, bring out the creative and expressive self, and provide learners new techniques to help articulate difficult topics or ideas.

Post-Programme Sustainability
As a large part of learning goes beyond the hours of a workshop or camp and is nestled in self-reflection after the programme and self-learning through application, WOW toolkits are designed to sustain learning through various brain-based techniques, such as Meaning-Making, Habits Building, and Skills Mastery.
