Future Competencies for young people from StarachowiceFuture Competencies training, which took place on December 8-10 in Św. Katarzyna, this is another important event for the youth of Starachowice.
The aim of the trip, in addition to training in coping with stress, public speaking, self-confidence and motivation, was also integration and evaluation.
The innovative approach was that the youth themselves developed the training program based on their expectations. After an active day, St. Nicholas Day was held, where, in addition to gifts, participants received from Santa. Nicholas, new sweatshirts and T-shirts with the logo of the Starachowice Youth City Council. At the end of the day, in a festive mood, young residents of Starachowice took part in a mindfulness session, i.e. working on mindfulness.
The second day included classes on stress management, self-confidence and giving good feedback. Of course, there were many energizers and mindfulness sessions that day.
