Shouldn't we start it from school? Today is Children's Day🧒, a day to celebrate and reflect on the future of our #youth. As adults🧔, we often find ourselves navigating challenges and learning #skills through years of experience, workshops, and training. However, it's crucial to recognize that the foundation for these skills should ideally be laid during #school years🏫 rather than later in life .🧑🎓 15 years of #education followed by another 4 years at the tertiary level📚, it's clear that there is still a ↔️ gap in equipping #children with essential life skills. Whether in corporate settings, entrepreneurial endeavors, or as employees, adults often portray a derivative of their childhood experiences. 4 years ago, I embarked on a journey to initiate this #change at the school level, aiming to enhance children's problem-solving abilities, project management skills, and cognitive capacities.🧠 Teachings needed to be added to the #system 🔸Creativity 🔸Financial Literacy 🔸Decision Making 🔸Entrepreneurship P.S: The picture below captures a moment from a workshop conducted to nurture these fundamental skills in children. #ChildrensDay #SkillsDevelopment #FutureLeaders #Srilanka #mentalhealth
