Empower the child and you have developed the nation.

Preparations for the teen workshop to be hosted by Teen Breakthrough programme under Floodtide investments on April 7 and 8 at Jubilee Christian Centre are at advanced stage with organisers confirming the latest developments.

The workshop is meant to inspire teenagers and preteens (10-12 year olds) in a bid to create a corruption-free generation will be conducted by teen coach Tafadzwa Musarurwa and Jonah Mungoshi also known as The Success Coach.

In an interview with CLS, Musarurwa said all is set for the workshop and more than 150 pupils are expected to take part.

“In response to prevailing challenges where education received by young people is not being translated to higher productivity and economic development, Teen Breakthrough programme has a strong entrepreneurial bias as well as content and processes for developing an incorruptible mindset in young people.

“More than 150 students are expected to take part in the workshops and main topics to be covered at the workshop include ‘7 critical decisions you will have to make as a teenager’, ‘The incorruptible generation’ (foundations for an incorruptible life), ‘7 habits of happy kids’ and ‘Confidence building’,” he said.

He said since 2014 Floodtide investments has been conducting workshops for teenagers and tweens to impart skills and success habits that help them develop an inner drive, set goals and start pursuing their life purposes at an early age.

“To date more than 1 000 teenagers and tweens have been trained and the feedback from both parents and the teenagers has been overwhelmingly positive,” he said.

For interest sake, the two coaches are regular guests on A-Shot-in-The-Arm, a motivational programme broadcasted every Wednesday on Star-FM radio station. Based on the increasing numbers of participants as well as feedback from parents it appears the programme has been effective to date. Sixteen-year-old Ruvarashe said the workshop was beneficial to her as she will teach others what she learnt.

“The coaching has helped me to discover the hidden facts about teen life. I would have gone astray thank you for directing me to the right way,” she testified.
