EGGS, few toothpicks and plasticine were given to young participants at a brainstorming session called the “Solid Eggs”.
Each one of them are required to work as a team to form a ‘shield’ around the eggs using the tools given to them to make sure the eggs remain unbreakable when it’s dropped to the ground.
Some of the participants were successful in their attempt and proved that all things are achievable if they practice teamwork.
About forty participants who attended two different sessions for primary and secondary school students respectively enjoyed the Character Building and Motivation Programme namely “Towards Success” organised by KJ Generation Resources (KJGR) in Gua Musang, Kelantan recently.
The special programme conducted by a team of motivation trainers from Serdang, Selangor was filled with excitement and full of activities.
"It was truly a fun filled moment. ‘Spider-web, crab soccer, human knots, tiger-cabbage-goat, shape building (participants blindfolded) and you fall-we catch’ were among some of the team building and problem solving activities used to help participants understand the challenges and ways to be successful in life.”
“The whole programme is designed to prepare students for exams and future undertakings. We also distributed to the students a lot of leaflets from various varsities in the country to build their confidence to look beyond their limitations,” said the team leader, Rena Esmeralda.
Besides providing many tips and giving motivation talks, the team also shared their college and university’s experiences to encourage the students to always aim high and achieve greater heights in life.
“Towards the end of the programme, the participants were given a slot to showcase their talents. Each team performed a skit in English to show some attributes of good character and how it helps others and make them to be a successful person,” she added.
KJGR’s principal, S.Josephine said, the centre which focuses on building character and teaching English the easy way will continue its effort to organise more educational programmes such as this in the near future.
