Life Skills Intervention for Empowerment (LIFE) project
Save the Children Australia introduced the Life Skills program in 2001. Our team of trainers conduct training sessions on Life Skills throughout the country, enabling children and adolescents to acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours to help them become healthy, well balanced individuals. As the school curriculum in Bangladesh is limited to learning facts, this training helps children to have the tools to meet the challenges of work and life.
Commissioned by UNICEF, Save the Children conducts Training of Trainers sessions for major NGOs including BRAC and CMES, building the skills of their staff to conduct Life Skills training and monitoring life skills based education sessions. Training of Peer Leaders is also provided for CMES.
Training of Facilitators is conducted for the Peer Leaders among the members of the National Children’s Task Force (NCTF), part of Save the Children’s Listen to Children's Voices project, who then form a team of Child Peer Educators. These Peer Leaders conduct Life Skills based education sessions at schools throughout the country and have recently been provided with furniture to create an office for the NCTF members in each district.
