Growing a "mobile" Garden (Agricultural activities)
“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow”
~Aubrey Hepburn~
Life is a wonderful process of sowing and reaping. Gardening is a wonderful metaphor about everything DCF stands by. You will get what you put in.
Eating great food makes healthy hungry minds. This mobile garden will teach our young leaders stewardship, responsibilities and enjoying the fruits of their labour and we get to reduce our carbon foot-print in the process.
DCF believes that reading changes EVERYTHING! Our corner of books is dedicated to opening minds, building dreams, creating leaders and seeing them thrive.
“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader”
~ Margaret Fuller ~
The reader's corner has been established to give the learners exposure to reading on a regular basis. This will allow them to increase their vocubulary, thereby increasing one's self confidence and boosting their self-esteem. Reading will encourage the learners to be articulate and well-spoken, tools that are of great help in any profession.
Teacher Development Workshops
The influence of a good teacher can never be erased. Even great teachers never stop learning. Our Teacher Development Workshops are provided with awareness that there is always something to learn and that teachable teachers make the best educators.
Courageous Conversations
Linda Lambert says “One good conversation can shift the direction of change forever…” Imagine what two conversations can achieve. We understand that it takes courage to open up and share – courageous conversations is designed to get our young leaders having conversation; conversations of change!
Courage is one of the keys to Great Leadership. Aristotle called courage the first virtue, because it makes all of the other virtues possible. In addition to being the most important human virtue, it is the most important business virtue, as well.
DCF believes every learner should go out into the working world with less fear and more courage, This will help them deal with change appropriately and speak up more willingly.
