Social Stimulation

There is always a question on how can we socially stimulate a groups of students or elderly. 

We start with how to teach about getting  peer support and interpersonal skills through a fun socially stimulating activity. In this activity you can ask participants to construct potential "icebreakers."  Icebreakers are usually 3-5 minute introductory games designed to warm up the atmosphere and teach the attendees to feel more comfortable around other people.

Seems to be no brainer, but sometimes, this small step is missing and people get uncomfortable in the session. 

Try it,it is fun.

Leadership style in a diverse community for equity and inclusivity of all

    As the new year unfolds, bringing with it fresh realizations and decisions often referred to as resolutions, I reflect on my leadership style. When questioned about it, I prioritize people, with a specific focus on promoting inclusivity and empowerment, aiming to inspire and motivate others. Emphasizing the significance of relationships, including those promoting gender equality, I establish clear goals to guide our collective efforts.

As an agent of change, with a commitment to inclusivity, I readily adapt to new challenges, grounding my actions in a visionary appro
