Life Skills Development Training

With a motive to augment the hidden talent of students and to introduce them with different Life Skills, on 6th and 7th of Bhadra, 2076, Peace for People organized a Life Skills Development Training program among 35 students of grade 10 studying at Shree Adarsha Secondary School, Thakre-5, Dhading for two long days. 

The rapid transformation in technologies of the modern world has a direct impact on growing students and young people, leading them to frustration and stress. When they deal with this speeding world, they find themselves stuck in between academic life, career, family, friends and life as a whole! This, consequently, affects their mental health. Hence, Life Skills are essential for an individual in order to build self-esteem, sociability and tolerance. They help to discover the ability to take action and make a change; and eventually to freedom to decide what to do and who to be.

To tackle obstacles that may arise in different phases of life, a student must be educated in different aspects. Regarding this, the students were given training on proper socialism, sportsmanship, and on-stage presentation skill. Similarly, we used various mediums to uplift their self-esteem, negotiation and empathy skills. Likewise, the training helped the students in improving their critical thinking, decision-making and problem solving capabilities. In a nutshell, we believe that through the training, students were motivated to dream in life and to work hard in order to achieve their dream.
