POWER SKILLS Afternoon Program: 2:00 h. Language

The new skills that are revolutionizing the classrooms and are essential for the future.

Unlike knowledge skills acquired in school (languages, technology, mathematics, geography, etc.), there are other skills developed through childhood and adolescence, that nowaday have become the most powerful.

“Power Skills” is the sum of Personal and Practical Skills; those that are learned in daily life and define personality, social relationships, skills and self-confidence. A series of practical and fundamental knowledge that prepares adolescents for their future:

-Personal Abilities… those that define personality and mark the way they interact and relate. How to communicate, argue and negotiate, adapt and manage time… always with a creative and positive attitude.

-Practical Abilities… knowledge and ability to perform everyday tasks inside and outside home. Organize a menu from beginning to end, waste-save-give, the importance of exercise and rest, self-defense, manage their personal and written presentation, control their expenses and their emotions,… always with the satisfaction of work well done.

Everyday expanding their knowledge through different practical, formative and playful activities, whilst reinforcing another language.

ACTION !!!

The excessive use of new technologies has changed adolescents behavior, leaving in the background life-in-life-essential knowledge and skills. These abilities will both help them become confident and independent teens and therefore face their future most successfully.

Power skills are essential to the way we work today and it’s time for them to stand shoulder to shoulder with technical skills.
