One-Day Award Leader Training Workshop

January 7, 2019 at Singapore International School, Mumbai

The International Award for Young People, India encourages young people to develop the character, skills and confidence they need to improve themselves and their communities, by encouraging them to step outside their comfort zone and build positive habits that they will take with them for the rest of their lives. With the support of adult mentors, the Award helps young people to unleash their passions and believe in the power of their own potential.

Keeping the above aspects in view, a training workshop for Award Leaders was conducted on December 7, 2019. Kapil Bhalla (National Director) and Bivujit Mukhoti (Programme Manager) facilitated the workshop with 49 participants from Singapore International School, Mumbai; Ram Ratna International School, Thane, and Adventure Education Tours (Mumbai) Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai.
