LABORATORY TRAINING ON YOUTH LEADERSHIP

To help young people develop their expertise in group leadership

the Youth Work Unit of the Social Welfare Department has organized a

series of three courses that will use the laboratory method of instruction.

The courses will be of different duration. The first one, an

evening course,

will commence on March 21 and consist of four sessions

being hold twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays to be followed by a

weekend camp.

This course will be held from 7 to 9 p.. at the department's

The weekend camp Lady Trench Training Centre in Oi Kwan Road, Wan Chai.

will take place at the Tsung Tsan Youth Centre in Thi Po. Participation is open to youths aged 17 to 25 of secondary school educational levol

or above, and all those completing it will receive a certificate.

Mr. Antonio Chu, Officer-in-charge of the Youth Unit, explained

that methods to be used in this course will include role-playing and

smaller group discussions.

"The laboratory method will be used because its basic philosophy

is that people can learn better through experience or experimenting what

they do in a secure environment," said Mr. Chu.

"It is participating in such group activities that the youths will

be able to develop their sensitivity to their surroundings, as well as

achieve a better understanding of themselves and factors of human

relationship which are so essential to the development of leadership in

a person," he said.
