Teamwork MOD01 10 hours Students will be exposed to the benefits of teamwork and partnerships, with examples of local, regional and international institutions and businesses. Local examples will include the Antigua and Barbuda Trade and Labour Union, the Antigua and Barbuda Workers Union and the Antigua Commercial Bank. The lectures will disassemble the myths and legacies of the “divide and rule” indoctrinations of our enslavement past. Such indoctrinations were so thorough and complete that through the generations we have coined and internalized the notion that “partnership is leakyship”. The lectures will prove the contrary: Partnership is Powership. All YEA students will know the National Anthem. Read More
Rights of The Individual MOD04 10 hours It is very important for societal development that every student fully understands the rights of the individual and the minority. Whereas YEA teachings may be team and community oriented, it is important that YEA students internalize that the majority must never martial its power to unjustly discriminate against or harm the minority.

Ethics MOD05 10 hours Ethic or Moral Philosophy is a corner-stone of our societal foundations. Students will be encouraged to adhere to principles of good social conduct. Nonetheless, student will be informed of the moral diversity of different peoples at different times and places. In the process, they will discover that some of today’s morals are relics of mankind’s past ignorance. Read More
Civics MOD06 10 hours As stated earlier, YEA’s mission is to assist in producing better citizens and a performance-based society. Every student must acquire a working knowledge of the rights and duties a citizen. Such duties will include the responsibility to participate in the Democratic and Electoral Processes. YEA will conduct Simulated “Mock” General Elections to ensure that students are “Electorally Ready.” Read More
Humanitarianism MOD07 10 hours To be a good neighbour and to look-out for each other are incontrovertible axioms of a civilized community. Nonetheless, in our “modern” fast pace society that is preoccupied with consumerism and material acquisition, acts of humanitarianism are progressively devalued in our communities, and in some cases they are on the verge of extinction. YEA will remind students of the African practice: It Takes a Village to Raise a Child. The students will be impressed to restore this culture in their communities. Read More
How to Become a National Hero MOD18 10 hours Students will learn of the significant contributions of the Father of The Nation, the late Honourable Vere Cornwall Bird Sr.; Sir Vivian Alexander “Vivi” Richards; Sir Anderson Montgomery Everton “Andy” Roberts; and other National Heroes. Read More
