Human beings are social and open to change by nature. Human growth and development continue throughout a lifetime. Growth and development begin from the age of six and extend into the youth period. Youth is the most dynamic stage of life, and it plays a crucial role in one’s life story in terms of recognizing social, cognitive, and emotional development and defining one’s identity.
Speaking of roles, various elements of a scenario come to mind: role, event, place, and time. These core concepts are the fundamental elements that shape the youth period. A young person’s ability to recognize themselves, understand which role they take on, and connect with others through communication and diction leaves a lasting impression and sets an example. Asking the question “What is my story?” and even discovering one’s own potential is therefore essential.
Strengthening our society by raising future generations in a qualified and productive way, increasing well-being and prosperity, depends on creating projects that support growth and development, reinforcing character building, education, and career development, and involving young people directly in fieldwork. Just as first aid kits are necessary in hospitals, pharmacies, and homes, young people also need a practical and sustainable support kit that meets today’s needs.
These support kits that have an impact on a young person’s life journey, in short, the necessary trainings, are as follows:
Self-Discovery Workshops
Understanding My Emotions Workshops
Diction and Public Speaking
Social and Digital Communication
Reading and Analysis Studies
Social Entrepreneurship
Project Cycle and Writing
First Aid Training
Effective Presentation and Design
Social and Digital Design
Culture and Arts Workshop
Finally, the late psychologist Doğan Cüceloğlu once said, “Those who try to change society without changing themselves offer advice but cannot be effective guides.” In short, know yourself so that you can have a meaningful impact on society. Remember, if you do not renew yourself, you will be defeated.
