UPF has conducted workshops for educators, teachers and youth leaders in over thirty countries around the world. These one-to-three-day seminars empower the participants to use cognitive (head), affective (heart), and behavioral (hands) strategies to highlight virtues in their classrooms and professional activities. During the workshops, best practices in character development and relationships skills training are highlighted. A substantial portion of the workshop is devoted to customizing the content of the Discovering the Real Me books in order for children and youth to understand the stories more clearly.
