For Youth & Teenagers

It’s a fun and interactive way to improve their English while keeping them engaged. These are some examples of how we can structure and build the program

Dress Up Day

Organize a day where the youth can dress up in cultural (sports, movements, fashion…) attire from around the world. It's a fun way to celebrate diversity and learn about fashion statements.

Language Olympics

Create a friendly competition for the youth to practice their English language skills. This includes games such as word guessing, Pictionary (drawing images), and vocabulary bingo.

Scavenger Hunt

Where the youth will need to use their digital literacy skills to complete challenges. This can include taking pictures, recording videos, and using online resources to find answers to questions. It's a fun way to learn about technology and how to use it safely.

Team Building

Plan team-building challenges that will require the youth to work together and communicate effectively. This can include building towers with limited resources, completing obstacle courses, and solving puzzles. It's a fun way to develop problem-solving and leadership skills.

Program Evaluation
