Doha: Enhancing its reputation as the region’s leading service learning provider for the youth, Reach Out To Asia (Rota) is hosting its latest Youth Service Club (RYSC) Leadership Training programme from tomorrow till Saturday in partnership with Msheireb Properties.
Providing the platform for both new and existing RYSC members to develop their abilities and strengthen their voice to act as responsible national and global citizens, the four-day RYSC Leadership Training event is an experiential, reflective and interactive learning programme – in Arabic and English – for high school and university students aged 14 to 22.
For the first time, RYSC Leadership Training delegates will be divided into two groups, ensuring both new and existing RYSC members benefit from a programme focused on each group’s particular service learning needs.
Group A will introduce 40-50 new student RYSC members who were not previously involved with a RYSC to the opportunities of Rota’s Youth Service Club programme and how it contributes to the youth development goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.
Meanwhile, Group B caters for existing RYSC members as it focuses on developing the lessons learnt during the previous Leadership Training in February 2012. The Group B agenda focuses on promoting better understanding of the service learning process and learning how to undertake well researched and planned community service projects.
Rota Executive Director Essa Al Mannai said, “We are proud to once again host Leadership Training as part of Rota’s goal to inspire Qatar’s next generation of youth leaders. Our Leadership Training creates an opportunity for new and existing RYSC members to become agents of change through their Rota Youth Service Clubs.”
The intensive 4-day RYSC Leadership Training commences on Day 1 as participants take part in sessions on values and leadership.
Day 2 will be an intense day covering service learning and project management.
On Day 3, participants will be exposed to global issues such as the Millennium Development Goals and both groups join together for skills workshops relevant to the participants’ development in running their Youth Service Club projects.
On Day 4 all participants get the chance to tour the Msheireb Enrichment Centre and discover how to use the environment as educational tools to reflect team building, leadership, competition, problem solving, risk management, empathy and cooperation. The Peninsula
