The Digital Age has radically shifted what we thought was essential for the children to remain relevant now and in the future. United Nations, UNICEF, International Telecommunications Union and other similar organisations recognise and state that with the introduction of tech, the internet, artificial intelligence, social media there are essential digital life skills that we need to develop in the children for them to
1) be employable,
2) create employment and
3) thrive in the digital future.
One such skill is storytelling. Have you been to a meeting or event where an educated or highly profiled person struggles to articulate themselves confidently yet they have the accolades and recognition to prove that they are indeed an expert? How about being addressed by someone who does not inspire you to listen or pay attention?
People have become personal brands whether they chose to do something about it or not. This program not only equips children with the skill to create compelling stories using tech and the internet but nurtures creativity and the confidence to express themselves through multi-media such as text, images, audio and video. All our sessions are practical and also incorporate developing the critical thinking skills to be safe online and to use tech productively.
