Workshop on the Art and Practice of Leadership (APL) is a national programme of Bangladesh Youth Leadership Centre, BYLC.Â This unique programme is meant to boost all the enthusiasm that runs within the youth to change the world to a better place. The three-day workshop, particularly designed for students studying in their third or fourth year of university, recently endedto find its ninth batch of APL graduates.
If someone is only little passionate about leadership, these three days will definitely change one's perception about the world and its problems. The session too changes the way how one tackled problems earlier. APL trains the participants with a new definition of leadership, effective communication skills, and a clear view of the career goals in a completely new manner, unlike our traditional approaches. The facilitators create an environment of security and trust among diverse participants, this enables participants to face their fear, and weakness and move out of the comfort zone and come out stronger. It challenges one to find the core values that describe oneself best, and what one is passionate about. This treatment helps one to identify one's true potential.
The three days of intensive sessions allow exercise of leadership in small groups and help to experience group dynamics. The knowledge helps to expand one's point of view and provides one with the skill to analyse any opportunity in a proper way. Thus, one can work out one's vision of life and become motivated to start what it would take to live the dream.
The sessions surely drills in one a stronger version of oneself in just three days. To attend the future sessions, readers may stay in touch with the BYLC website or facebook page of BYLC.
