LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM
“Having life skills is an important part of being able to meet challenges in everyday life.””
We believe that life skills are an important part of being able to meet challenges in everyday life. They include creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, the ability to communicate and collaborate, along with personal and social responsibilities that contribute to becoming an impactful member of the family and society.
Within the Life Skills Program, Gospel Seed Network, partners with families and children homes, to bring children and young adults a free life skills education so they can be successful in their everyday life and help bring change to their families and communities.
We teach them practical skills, such as: cooking, shopping in the market, cleaning, first-aide, swimming, how to survive in the forest, what to do in natural disasters, technology, time management, and how do laundry. We teach them about things they will face in the future such as: living in a city compared to a village, finances, opening a bank account, internships, applying for university, and applying for jobs. We teach about social issues and other competencies, such as: racism, cross-cultural differences, social media, affects of advertising, social networking, and the differences between men and women (emotional an behavioral). We teach about health skills, such as: hygiene, sex, and drug and alcohol use. We teach critical thinking skills, such as: decision making, coping with stress, coping with emotions, empathy, resisting peer-pressure, self-awareness, assertiveness and how to deal with personal, family and social conflict.
