Students experiencing adventure-based challenge activities

The adventure event was part of the Changemaker Gear Up Training Series (GUTS) which aims to develop students to be a changemaker and make positive changes to society. It promoted the idea that everyone can be a changemaker and encouraged students to take their first step.

After experiencing a whole day of adventure-based challenge activities, students were able to explore their fears and extend their comfort zone. This helps them to become a changemaker because leaving their comfort zones allows them to empathize deeply and think out of the box. Additionally, they are more willing to take risks, embrace unknowns, and take initiative to turn ideas into actions for the good of all.
