SOFT SKILL TRAINING FOR 450 CHILDREN FOR A YEAR

TITLE: SOFT SKILL TRAINING FOR 450 CHILDREN FOR A YEAR

ACTIVITY: March 2019

Create Foundation utilized the funds received to start 13 classes with 7 NGOs in Mumbai reaching out to approximately 335 students from marginalized backgrounds to impart soft skill training. The initial activity was an interactive assessment with the students to plan a soft skill program suitable to the needs of the students.

CREATE Foundation has also started a singing program for a visually challenged NGO and dance classes for an NGO with children having hearing impediment and the children excitedly looked forward to the sessions.

The goals of these activities is to build personality, confidence, interactive skills through our Speech & Drama class some of the topics covered in the classes were speech exercises , enunciation, vowels, pronunciation, age appropriate poems and correct pronunciation of English words.  Using the medium of the creative arts, the children participated in role play in situations that they can relate to like at the market or at the fair, acting in an ensemble, theatre games like “Continue the story”, “Form shapes with your bodies”  etc bringing out the ‘actor’ in them .

Through our Dance & Singing class we help with social interaction, voice modulation, team work, creative thinking, memorization etc

For our soft skills & grooming classes for young adults aged 16 and upwards we have designed a curriculum that will help the students land better jobs. Through our grooming sessions we help develop many skills namely interview etiquette, basic greeting, communication, interpersonal & social skills.

Photographs of the sessions are attached.

Please note: Not all NGOs allow photography/ videography during class, resulting in us not having pictures of sessions at a few NGOs.
