practice, and group discussions to foster collaboration, assertiveness, self-confidence, and effective communication.
Additionally, experiential learning is a vital part of our methodology as it allows
participants to actively engage in hands-on activities, simulations, and real life
scenarios that promote deeper understanding, skill development and application of knowledge in a practical context.
DURATION OF WORKSHOPS
The interactive workshops will run for one hour weekly throughout the academic
year, with six to eight students participating. We will collaborate with schools and local authorities to deliver the workshops within the school environment or any other agreed venue.
