What are the Strength Cards?

Young people are often confronted with questions like: What are your strengths? How can you use them to grow?Whether they are making a study choice, motivating themselves, or seeking to build more self-confidence, recognising their strengths is crucial. The Strength Cards help young people aged 15 to 25 discover and purposefully apply their strengths.

The 24 strengths are divided into 6 universal values: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence.
