Chivalry Unleashed — Inside the Learning Module
And how do you make sense of all those conflicting thoughts and emotions that seem to leave you in a state of confusion regardless of the logic and reason applied? Some teens painstakingly hone every small detail of the image they present to others so no one will 'see' the uncertainty gnawing at them, while others hide behind attitudes of 'couldn’t care less'. Being chivalrous is not going to eliminate your confusion or make you popular, but it will help you understand who you are and what it means to be your best self. And being your best, no matter what that is, is good enough.
There is a myth, that when a man opens a door for a woman, for example, he is being chivalrous. Chivalry Unleashed is designed to help you unravel the mystery and magic of chivalry so that you can open your own doors, now and in the future, while simultaneously opening doors for others in a caring, courteous manner.
Teenagers from 15 to 18 years of age are invited to register for Chivalry Unleashed.
