Developing your skills and mindsets as a Changemaker

By promoting the idea that everyone could be a changemaker, students are encouraged to arm themselves with changemaking muscles and skills, taking the initiative to become a changemaker through the online workshop.

Important qualities mindset of changemakers, such as having a growth mindset, trust in oneself and humility were introduced by the instructors. Different stories of young changemakers were also shared to motivate students in building up their changemaking muscles. Then, students were divided into groups and tried to apply what they have learned in the previous session to simulation scenarios, such as suggesting solutions for the current challenges faced by primary students with the online learning mode.

Towards the end of the workshop, significant changes could be seen in the performance of the students. They were found to have more confidence in speaking their minds and showed their willingness to participate in changemaking. Students were also encouraged to take further steps to make a positive impact on the community.
