ORANGES is a 2-day program created by Camp Quality - a national Charity that supports children (birth to 13 years) and families affected by cancer through educational, hospital, recreational and home support services. ORANGES was developed over a decade by bringing the latest academic research to life and contains over 40 easily implemented practical tools that participants learn and practice during the workshops.
The program aims to enhance the wellbeing of individuals as well as the health of the whole organisation by providing people with tools for a better life. ORANGES is based on robust academic rigour and extensive scientific research, that shifts people's focus from what is wrong or negative, to a more positive outlook that has meaning, a positive can-do outlook, high engagement, positive energy and accomplishment, to create higher happier and higher performing people and teams.
Life and work can be hard, challenging and disappointing; however research covered in ORANGES has shown that there are certain strategies and skills that allow people to navigate the challenges of life more effectively and despite the upsets bounce back and flourish. ORANGES has seven workshops as outlined below.
Each workshop has interactive learning activities and is measurable through the unique ORANGES inventory tool which will give participants scores for their Optimism, Resilience, Attitude, Now (Mindfulness) Gratitude, Energy and Strengths.
By practicing the tools presented in the workshops and understanding the research behind them, participants learn the key and skills to developing positive thinking habits. These skills can be measured and tracked across all seven ORANGES inventories to show how an individual, team or entire organisation is improving.
The program is held over two-days with an introduction and the first three letters (O, R and A) conducted on day one and the final four letters on day two.
The program is optimal with 14 – 25 people per group.
| Workshops | Outcomes And Tools | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Optimism |
|
Participants learn tools to create flexible, optimistic thinking habits which enable them to focus on positive outcomes, persist and stay motivated. The skills they learn to develop positive beliefs and proactive strategies to combat pessimistic thinking draw on pioneering work of Martin Seligman, a leading figure in positive psychology. |
| Resilience |
|
Participants develop the capacity to withstand and adapt to life's challenges, by providing a simple range of activities to boost positive mood and manage negative emotions. It shows how the brain, body and emotions are linked and how people can change the way they feel to create an upward spiral of positive emotion that increases resilience. This workshop is based on the latest emotional intelligence and neuroscience research by Barbara Fredrickson, Karen Reivich and Andrew Shatte. |
Attitude |
|
Participants learn how much of our happiness is determined by the attitudes and choices we make and explore ways to become flexible, positive and motivated by adopting a growth mindset. Based on research by Carol Dweck which clearly shows that our intelligence is malleable and that you can create a growth mindset which makes you more motivated, productive and happy. |
| Now |
|
Participants learn tools for living in the now and enjoying the present moment. This skill involves training ourselves to be more mindful so we can put things into perspective, gain more emotional control and feel more engaged. |
| Gratitude |
|
Participants learn how to boost their happiness and that of others by expressing gratitude and appreciation. This simple action is one of the most powerful tools to increase positive emotions and keep people energised and healthy. It's a powerful antidote to negative emotion and depression. |
| Energy /Excitement |
|
Participants learn about the science of laughter, elevation and the benefits of feel good chemicals for your body and brain. Research shows the benefits of fun and laughter in reducing stress, improving heart rate, muscle activity, digestion and immune systems. |
| Strengths |
|
Strengths are a pre-existing capacity for a particular way of behaving, thinking or feeling that is authentic and energising to the user. When used, people feel happier, more confident, more resilient, and more engaged in their self-development. It's informed by extensive research into strengths psychology by Alex Linley, Chris Peterson and Robert Biswas-Diener. |
