EmpowerED: Where Life Skills Meet Education
A unique and comprehensive workshop designed to help students acquire important life skills that are not typically taught in traditional classroom settings. Our workshops are tailored to address real-life challenges that young people face as they navigate their way through school and into adulthood.
The programme is designed to empower students by teaching them skills such as effective communication, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, financial literacy, time management, and goal setting in a 3 hours workshop structured as follows:
1. Personal Finance - Budgeting, savings, investments, pensions, mortgages, credit vs debit
2. Personal Development - Vision, mission, mindset, values, goal setting
3. Health & Wellbeing - Dealing with anxiety, avoiding burnout, mindfulness
These skills are essential for success in academics, careers, and personal relationships.
Our team of experienced facilitators works with students in an interactive and engaging manner, using a combination of lecture-style teaching, group discussions, role-playing, and hands-on activities. Our workshops are designed to be fun and informative, and we believe that students will enjoy the opportunity to learn in a new and exciting way.
