Be Successful
Description of the project
Be Successful is a project where 2 young volunteers from China and Singapore (aged 20-25) come toTallinn high schools in order to carry out a series of workshops. There are 4 schools involved in this project Tallinna Õismäe Gümnaasium, Liivalaia Gümnaasium, Lasnamäe Gümnaasium, Tallinna Ühisgümnaasium. : 6 workshops are taking place in the course of 6 weeks in each school.
The aim of this project is to motivate young Estonians, increase their tolerance among differences in culture, broaden their minds, build self- confidence and inspire to follow their dreams. This will lead the participants to success.
Description of the events
Preparing the volunteers – During the first week of the project volunteers will receive preoperational trainings about public speaking, crowd management and psychology. They will also get an overview of the economic and educational environment in Estonia.
Workshops – 3-hour interactive sessions will be carried out by the volunteers each week in all the schools after hours. The workshops are more intense, attractive and developing than regular lessons in school, because non-formal teaching methods are used. Individual approach and multicultural environment create an even more effective outcome.
Topics covered during the workshops:
- Entrepreneurial outlook and taking the initiative
- Team work and leadership
- Goal setting, achieving and self-motivation
- Time management and personal effectiveness
- Networking and communication
- Multicultural co-operation and international business environment
Company visits - All the participants get the chance to visit one company of our partners. The list of the companies will be added to this page soon!
Cultural evening – in the middle of February
