Leadership Development Program-British School

A Leadership Development Program was organized for Grade 6 students of the British School from November 23-27, 2009 at the Borderlands Eco Adventure Resort. A total of 13 students and 3 teachers participated in the five days program. To make the experiential learning more effective, the whole group was further sub-divided into smaller groups of 6-7 participants. The first day included icebreaking activities, hiking to Gati village and camping during the night. Similarly, on the second day the students walked to the Seti Devi Primary School and donated some books for the library. In addition, they also dug pits for tree plantation. Other games and initiatives that were played during the program were: nightline exercise, raising group performance, leaky pipes, diffuse the bomb, data transfer etc. As per the participants, rock climbing, abseiling, river crossing, a visit to the paper factory, fashion show and talent show were some of the highlights of the trip. The students as well as teachers enthusiastically made Nepali paper with their own hands and brought it with them.
