The relationship

The philosophy provides the foundation. The CIC puts it into practice.

BE(YOU)FULL is not limited to a single programme, organisation or method. It is an evolving philosophy and body of knowledge concerned with how people understand themselves, relate to others and act with greater awareness, confidence, responsibility and agency.

BE(YOU)FULL CIC is one practical expression of that philosophy. It creates a formal structure through which the work can be delivered with schools, universities, communities, organisations and partners.

This distinction allows the philosophy to continue developing while its practical applications respond to real educational and social needs.
