Project LECT & Global Citizenship Seminar

We (Kayode Alabi Leadership and Career Initiative- KLCI) are more delighted to start 2019 in an amazing fashion.

We were able to include Global Citizenship into our curriculum and introduce secondary school students in underserved communities to it. This is also to complement our project "Project LECT (Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Character Training).

So today, we had a session on Global Citizenship with Community Comprehensive High School Students, Olambe.



We identified problems that not only affects us but other people across the world and we identified ways in standing up for such problems. We did this using two different task;

1. In other people's shoe's; Where students wrote in shoes how they will take action on illiteracy, climate change, violence, teenage pregnancy, poverty etc. The students after this exchanged the shoes and were asked to present what the other person has written in the shoe. They had to deal with the handwriting and thought process. I could recall a student saying, he couldn't read what the person had written but understood his thoughts and was able to stand up for the person. This is referred to as empathy.




2. The other task is " Welcome or Welcome Not" The aim of this task is for student to think critically about how newspapers present the story of refugees. The students worked in groups to discuss headlines that are welcoming or not. They also had the opportunity to check the dictionary for words they couldn't understand. At the end they were able to reflect on the outcome.






We also had a panel discussion on Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Character Training! And it was just super amazing.



We have a lot to say about today's event but we will stop here!

We were able to do this through our amazing volunteers and Community Comprehensive High School is one of the schools we have adopted.



We move!
