Why should youth stand tall?
It is said that the technological revolution has either the potential to support the good in humanity and bring it to a higher level; or destroy the heart and soul of the human race, moulding in its place people who lack emotion, empathy and the skill to interact.
Salt & PETRONITA believes we must fight to keep the heart and soul alive through helping students develop the soft skills that will help them stand out from the crowd. These skills will act as a foundation for the level of articulation, confidence and clarity that is sought not just by universities and the workplace, but will be integral to the sense of community and
society.
Who is this for?
- Youth who need a boost in confidence
- Those who would like to better their communication and interaction skills
- Those who find it hard to hold on to their opinions in a group
What will you gain?
Participants will:
- Build their self-confidence
- Learn to develop and put forward their own ideas
- Be poised and clear when speaking in front of a group
- Learn new tools to improve their overall ability to communicate effectively
Workshop methodology
This workshop is activity-driven. Besides writing exercises, participants will learn through facilitated group discussions, games and activities. Participants’ individual and collective journeys of discovery will take place in a fun and supportive environment
