The Future We Seek
Cohort 1
The Leadership We Desire; The Role of the Coming Generation in Shaping The Future
The cohort comprised of young adult between ages 14 and 18; students in the SS 2 and SS 3 levels, largely from the Ibadan-North Local Government Area of Oyo State, Nigeria. The academy took the students on leadership and emotional intelligence, public administration and entrepreneurship modules.
The academy trained the students on public speaking, book reading, Sexual awareness and mental health awareness which is part of our #modules. The cohort ran for 8 months with classes holding only on weekends; classes ran physically and virtually (due to the Covid-19 lockdown).
Solving A Problem
One of the principles of the academy is to raise young adult who are able to think problem solving; they identify a problem and think of a solution to the problem. One of our students Sogbamidotun Benjamin came up with a project set to inspire the student in her school to love reading. The project is named “Book Tribe- Abadina”. The project entailed renovating the library, restocking it with quality books and running a time to time book review.
