Hello everyone. I wanted to talk about this fantastic training that I have been recently.
It is called leadership training and it is ran by LifeBeat. I was there with my friends from the APOW youth project. The training was held at Pembroke House. I was a bit nervous before I walked into the leadership training because when i heard the word ‘leadership’ I thought that I was going to be a very formal&serious meeting. But after I went there I found out that it wasn’t like that. It was fun and very friendly. I had a lot of fun in that training and so did everyone else. The training was based all in games and how to run them, so anything we did or we learned, we did through the games. Even if you are shy, not confident enough, like I was, when you walk in there and you see all those friendly faces and the amazing atmosphere, the non-confident person you used to know suddenly vanishes, as it did for me. The first thing that I liked about the training is that you built up your confidence. Second and very important is that you learn how to become a leader, how to lead a group of people, and how to explain games, or other things. This was a very good experience for me and even though I did it once, I am very happy to do it again if I get the change.
