Subida

The Subida team engaged a brilliant group of students last Saturday 21st in a session entitled "Leading in uncomfortable situations."
The aim: was to ensure the young leaders get to experience what leadership really involves. And to give them an opportunity to exercise their leadership skills, enhance their critical thinking and boost their confidence by asking them to stand for what they believe in.
How was the aim achieved?: A mock South African parliamentary debate was facilitated. The motion was: "does the South African government do much to prevent Youth unemployment". The topic is truly relevant as SA has the 3rd largest youth unemployment rates in the world. The young leaders were divided into two groups: 1. Government and 2. Opposition. The rules were however made up. The young leaders were given limited time to discuss within themselves and come up with solutions.
What we wanted to voice out was that as a leader sometimes you will be required to think on your feet within a limited span of time, or to make decisions difficult decisions.
It was a truly exciting session as the students were enthusiastic and truly motivated to contribute and learn.
Looking forward to more exceptional sessions ahead!
