Courage, Confidence and Values For Children to Face Current Challenges in Sri Lanka

-

How do we equip our innocent children who have not experience­d the fear of brutal war that darkened our country for three decades, to face the current crisis that has cast gloom over our beautiful country?

How to we inculcate in them good values of equality of all people of Sri Lanka and motivate them to be ambassador­s of peace and unity, who will take forward our country to a bright future some day?

How do we teach children to think critically for themselves without being influenced by false rumours and hate speech that only lead to fear and destructio­n?

How do we train our children to be courageous, speak out and be leaders for positive change?

How do we train them to be alert about safety and security without unnecessar­y fear? Children need guidance and motivation to go in the right direction. They need encouragem­ent, to bring out the best of their unique talents.

The Rainbow Institute of Communicat­ion and English, a centre of excellence in communicat­ion, English and soft skills training, www. rainbowins­titute. lk is now enrolling children for the 14th intake of its popular training on Public Speaking, Leadership and Personalit­y Developmen­t for Children. (7-14 years)

FUN- FILLED LEARNING

In the current context where there is a sense of fear and h o p e l e s s n e s s, Rainbow Institute provides two refreshing hours for children every Saturday.

This special time provides motivation­al training, with fun- filled action to empower children with skills for leadership. They are inculcated with sound values and gain confidence to speak out in public and bring out the best of their unique personalit­ies.

EQUIPPING CHILDREN TO FACE CHALLENGES

The training for the new intake is crafted to equip children to face the current challenges in Sri Lanka with confidence and to shine as child leaders.

This training provides personaliz­ed coaching over a duration of 30 hours.

As sessions are limited to small numbers, each child gets individual attention and is guided to bring out the best of his or her own distinctiv­e strengths.

ENGAGEMENT OF PARENTS
