On October 11, 2024 we carried out a successful outreach program at Parents Pride International School, Benin City, Nigeria. We engaged students aged 13 to 19 on essential topics that will help shape their futures. Our focus for the session included
Soft Skills Development
We emphasized the importance of key soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Students were highly interactive, sharing their experiences and asking insightful questions about how these skills apply to their everyday lives and future careers.
Introduction to Generative AI
The students were introduced to the world of artificial intelligence, focusing on how generative AI is shaping industries today. They showed great interest in how AI can be applied to their studies and potential career paths, sparking curiosity and engagement.
Video Editing Skills
During the video editing session, students learned basic video editing techniques, exploring tools they can use to create content for school projects, personal interests, or even future endeavors in digital media.
- DATE : 11th October, 2024
- VENUE : Parents Pride Int'l School, B/City
The students participated enthusiastically in discussions and activities, displaying a genuine eagerness to implement what they learned. The hands-on exercises, particularly role-playing scenarios for soft skills and exploring creative aspects of video editing, were well received.
We captured several moments throughout the day, showcasing the students’ involvement and enthusiasm.
We are proud of the impact we made today and look forward to continued engagements with Parents Pride International school. It’s inspiring to see such bright and motivated students ready to embrace new knowledge and skills.
PARTNER WITH US
We are a partly tech-enabled international organization, creating innovative solutions to unemployment and the virtual cycle of poverty among youths who indeed, are the future of our Nations. We believe in not just outreaches but post-event tailored mentorship, follow-up by foreign experts and provision of an affordable and all-inclusive model for every youth who truly wants to succeed but do not have the right community and requisite literacy skills required by employers. Hence, we are well positioned with the United Nations to achieve her first, fourth and seventeenth goals in Africa.
ABOUT GELA
GELA is an international organization headquartered in Nigeria. GELA envisions a world where every youth has equal and unhindered access to employability skills and highprofile career mentorship in order to evade the fears of an unforseen future.
GELA identifies, trains, certifies and deploys unjustly discriminated and socioeconomically disadvantaged youths aged between 18-35 years, who reside in urban communities, are internet friendly and despite their challenges, are deeply passionate about becoming next generation leaders in their respective sectors and countries, but are currently at risk of being unemployed or underemployed. GELA offers a safe place with a gamifying feature where these undergraduates, graduates and young professionals happily compete with their peers to upgrade their employability skills without a feeling of inferiority complex and get rewarded for doing so.
The GELA project has already impacted close to 5,000 young people in West Africa within the pilot stage. And so, a digital hub (www.gelaofficial.org) was created where young people globally can remotely access both basic and advanced high-quality live sessions, audio records, video records, and text documents on soft skills, technological skills, and leadership from foreign mentors across the globe. GELA is headed by the CEO and has an international council of mentors made up of highly respected elites from over 20 countries. The organization also has an international advisory council which consist of professors, business, medical as well as legal consultants and headed by a highly distinguished General in the military, professor emeritus, ambassador, royal head, University chancellor and owner.
