Muskaan Fellowship Learning Retreat 3 (All Location)
Jubilant Bhartia Foundation in association with PRAVAH (Delhi based NGO) conducted the third learning retreat program for Muskaan Fellowship Batch 2021. Under this project, youth from college are selected and extensive training is given for their holistic personality development and growth in a learning retreat spread over three days. In the last two learning retreats, we covered communication skills, learning ability and style, ESCA model and career mentoring. This was the last learning retreat which was followed by alumni meet and certificate distribution to all the fellows.
27 fellows from all locations attended the learning retreat in a hybrid model (Online+Offline). They successfully carried out the assigned tasks and activities as facilitated by the Jubilant Bhartia Foundation (JBF) team. Learnings on essential values like courage, care, safety and equality were imparted to the fellows with the help of interactive activities. Muskaan fellows also learnt important life skills like influencing and inspiring others and conflict management. They brought innovative ideas and creativity on the table with regard to leadership skills and communication skills.
The Muskaan fellows were felicitated through a certificate and a sapling. They are determined to share their knowledge in the community and have been equipped to do the same. For this, they have been given a mobile tablet, essential stationary and a T-shirt to carry out their duties successfully.
Mission Milaap (Alumni Engagement)- The Muskaan Fellowship initiative is slowly turning into a community with an increasing alumni base every year. ‘One learns better with peer learning’- to put this to test, JBF team invited several alumni members to spend the entire day with the current fellows with interesting activities. The current fellows as well as the alumni had a wonderful time and also got a good exposure towards broadening their context. There was motivation and inspiration in the air as they learnt from one another and got to know about different career options.
