Divided into three distinct blocks, the Youth Summit provides a platform for students to discover their unique strengths, explore their future pathways, and craft their personal brand as aspiring young professionals. The program will be as follows:
Block 1 | Discovering Your Team Identity
To start the day, students will embark on a journey of self-discovery and team building. Through engaging activities, they will uncover their individual strengths, share ideas, and connect with students from different schools. This session will get students developing their 21st-century skills as they solve real-world challenges.
Block 2 | Building A School Of The Future
From there, students will engage in a youth-advisory challenge as they design future-focused learning experiences that empower young people to thrive in the future workforce. Through open discussions and design sprints, students will develop innovative solutions for their school communities that address the evolving needs of young people preparing for the ever changing future of work.
Block 3 | Crafting Your Digital Identity
In the final block, students will dive into the realm of personal branding and digital presence. Through activities such as professional headshots, leveraging digital tools, and designing LinkedIn profiles, students will learn how to build a strong online presence that aligns with their career goals. This session aims to equip students with the skills needed to navigate the interconnected world and thrive as young professionals.
