To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Learning about British values is very important to me. They help me understand how people in the UK live and treat each other. British values include democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance for people of different backgrounds and beliefs. These values teach us to respect others, follow rules, and live together peacefully in a diverse society.
