Curriculum
personal growth
Children and young adults in rural and suburban settings deal with continuous social conditioning that feeds fears, doubts and uncertainty. This module puts in place practices and belief systems that work to empower every participant with a renewed sense of confidence.
public speaking
English is the language of preference for academics, business and social forums. With the increasing recognition of our youth and their potential in the fields of music, the arts, culture and sports, this module works to provide participants with a firm foundation in public speaking and basic conversational English.
manners & etiquette
Against the backdrop of modern living and contemporary work culture, social graces and everyday manners are relevant and necessary for success. This module aims to groom participants with universally accepted social etiquette.
culture & identity
So much of our tribal identity is crafted from the culture, stories and music of our ancestors. This module encourages participants to re-discover their roots, allowing them to face the world with conviction in who they are and where they come from.
recognising talent
For youth across the State, alternative livelihood opportunities in fields as diverse as music, art, writing, performing and culture are avenues for future employment and recognition. This module plays a pivotal role in talent discovery and helping youth address their aspirations.
critical soft skills
Our soft skills modules cover a range of universally employable skill sets and competencies that aim to prepare participants for the world of work.
work culture
Bridging the gap between rural social settings and the demands of a globalized, urban work-place requires an awareness of corporate culture and professionalism. In this module, participants are taught the finer nuances of office conduct and city life to improve adaptability and emotional resilience.
leadership
Leading by example begins when we choose to make responsible decisions wherever we are. This module nudges participants to discover their strengths and leadership traits, to activities centered around the theme of personal impact.
