"Say it Out" to resume on 13 July, Friday

Dear all,

I had a short meeting with Jasmine and Gerardine this evening regarding the "Say it out" programme. "Say it Out" will resume on 13 July, Friday, 4.30pm at CSLMCH and will be held on alternate Fridays after that.

As discussed, the new features of the programme include:

1. More games.
2. Different methods of delivery: mini-toastmasters, debates, etc.
3. Dividing the students into permanent groups for an on-going competition, with prizes to be given at the last session of this year.
4. Electing a student leader for each group.
5. An Angel & Mortal game with students and facilitators.

The purpose of this programme is to develop the student's confidence to speak up through sessions of games and discussions. Gerardine made a good point worth highlighting here. The students are facing many issues in their life at their age and we do not know what their values and guiding principles are. We should not try to assume the position of a teacher in this programme. Rather, we should take time to listen to what their views are on these issues and share with them our opinion on them as an older person who had gone through these before.

Please let me know if you are free to help out with this programme. Thanks a lot!

Regards,
Andrew Leo
