FSL-India conducted a 1-day Team Leader Training at Bhandarkars’ College, Kundapur on 13^th January 2019. As per the organisation’s vision, our target audience is the youth to make them sustainable, overcome their stage fright and provide a safe environment through our sessions and activities.

FSL-India’s team consisting of Mr Venkatesh, Mr Manjesh and Mr Dinesh were the facilitators. They took extra care to prepare the session plan, which was conducted by our President, Mr Rakesh Soans. Totally, 29 students and 1 teacher participated in our activities. The participants underwent different practical, theoretical and outdoor sessions for their successful training and actively took part in each session and activities.

The training started with a brief introduction on FSL-India, self-introductions and some ice breakers. Our facilitators explained the rules of the activity to the participant so they could  understand and also find the solution to the challenges.

In the last part of the session, the group was divided into 4 smaller groups. The task given to each group was to draw a ‘Leader with Quality’. Each group had to prepare a chart and present their inner leader. The participants exhibited a lot of interest and excitement while carrying out this activity. All the participants did a good job and came up with many qualities they expected of a Leader. There was a lively discussion in the debriefing session which was concluded by the facilitators.

In general, the participants were very energetic, involved, enthusiastic, more supportive of each other and their motivation level was high even though it was late. All the group members thoroughly enjoyed the 1-day training.

FSL-India’s staff received very positive feedback for the 1-day Team Leader Training from the staff and students of Bhandarkar’s College.
