Corps members from the Editorial CDS group in Osogbo have kicked started a 6-day training on Public Speaking and Creative Writing  in order to equip teenagers  on effective communication skills.

The public speaking, creative writing summer classes which was born out of the need to grow and sharpen teenagers in creativity particularly writing and public speaking was held at Osogbo government high school.

Speaking at the event, which commenced on the 19th of August, 2019, Mr Okeoluwa Pelumi who doubled as a Corp member and facilitator gave a brief talk on the basics of public speaking.  He noted that public speaking is a means to building self esteem and confidence  regardless of a person's  field.

Mr Pelumi Speaking further,   highlighted the  various kinds of temperaments and how the teenagers can be awesome personalities depending on which temperament they are. He also encouraged the students to be good writers and speakers who will not relent no matter the mistakes stressing that mistakes are there to make one a better public speaker and individual as a whole. He concluded by encouraging the students to celebrate their losses,  embrace it,  redefine it and make it their strength.

Also at the training, another Corp member and facilitator,  Mr Waamah Bryan sensitized the students on creative writing.  Mr Waamah noted that  humans are a product of what we hear,  write and see. Bryan added that creative writing is birthed by a wild imagination that brings out your uniqueness as a writer.  He buttressed this  by encouraging the teenagers to  think outside the box in order to become  good creative writers.
Mr Waamah Still speaking on creative writing,   introduced and defined basic terms which  helped the students relate better and interact during the session.

Meanwhile, Mr  Isaac Okolo,  a member of the project team implored the students to take the training seriously as it is designed to help reshape their mindsets and broaden their horizons.  He also asked the  students to pen down their individual expectations from the training in order to give  them  purpose,  focus and direction.
Mr Okolo  further noted that the project team will offer rewards to the best participants as this will be an incentive to encourage  students who work hard in the course of the training.
