Leadership development is one of the major factors that are sought to be gained through Leo clubs. While developing our own leadership skills, we did not forget to bring out the hidden leaders buried inside our dear brothers and sisters. Through this initiative we hope to induce collaborative thinking and team skills in young school children dispersed throughout the country. Accordingly, LEAP itself stands for Learn, Engage, Apply and Perform.
Phase-1 of LEAP 22/23 was held on 26th and 27th of October 2022 at Godapitiya National School, Akuressa. A multitude of school children including prefects, received a complete training conducted by the experienced members of our club.
Starting from warm up exercises the games and activities heated up with each step forward. The large group was broken into smaller teams and they were given the challenge of being the best team by the end of the programme. Games like blind train and treasure hunt taught them how to develop trust in each other when working together as a team. The closing of the first day was done in style with a raging bonfire with impromptu drama sessions.
On the second day, an invaluable first-aid training session was conducted to train everyone present in the basic skills of first aid in the case of an emergency. A camping version of the cookery competition ensured that they learn to cook meals with limited resources. Amidst loads of fun and laughter, youngsters learned some essential soft skills they would require for their entire lifetime. As per the challenge set at the beginning, an awards ceremony was hosted to sum up the leadership camp with the best team being awarded the prize they deserved and all participants were awarded certificates.
