Creativity isn’t only for artists and sculptors, it is an important life skill for people of all ages and professions. To persevere in the midst of a crisis and stress in this dynamic era and emerge stronger, one must have the ingenuity to figure out a path out and the patience to stick with it. Children learning creativity tend to grow less pessimistic and more optimistic as they realize that they have the creative power to tackle different situations on their own rather than just following instructions. C3 shall focus on imparting creative skills, including idea-generation, imagination and openness to appreciate others ideas.
At its most basic level, communication is the act of transmitting information from one source to another. However, being able to express information clearly, and as intended is a necessary life skill. C3 aims at embellishing the students’ personal and professional communication skills, and will enable them to communicate effectively with a wide range of people while demonstrating a diverse vocabulary, customizing the language as per audience, responding effectively, conveying ideas appropriately, writing with clarity and working well in a group.
Courage is not the absence of fear. Courageous individuals experience fear, but they can control and conquer it such that it does not prevent them from taking action. Students frequently experience anxiety of public speaking, self-doubt, fear of failure and many more. Taking risks and moving outside of one’s comfort zone might be intimidating at first, but having trust in oneself, and the hope that things will work out is a big part of growing bravery. Receiving training in these life skills may assist one in overcoming their weaknesses, ensuring that they behave boldly and are not overpowered by their worries.
