Five-month youth mentoring programme launched

256

Sixteen mentors and mentees began a five-month long mentoring programme organised by the Global Awareness and Impact Alliance (GAIA) yesterday.

The GAIA mentoring programme, part of the GAIA Youth Series, is in its second edition and focusses on creating a nurturing environment for youth to learn and develop and creating changemakers and leaders of the future.

It is also a follow-up to Camp Wira, a three-day virtual camp conducted last month that sought to push the youth to new limits.

After the mentoring programme, a Youth Leadership Summit, a conference-style workshop to equip them with new skills such as negotiation, critical thinking, public speaking, conflict resolution, confidence building, and effective communication, will follow.

The programme is led by Dayangku Ayesha binti Pengiran Haji Mohd Salleh.
