The Youth Leadership Club is developed and facilitated by the Back Lot Foundation and consists of 4 modules: Basic life skills, Creativity, Debatting and Problem-solving. The focus lies on developing skills that aim to help students ages 15-18 in their daily lives. One module of training last for 3 weeks with each session duration being 2 hours. Students participate in groups of 7 led by a coach. The full duration of a club cycle is 20 weeks (5 months) after which they complete by implementing a social project. The project makes a link with either a national-, regional- or global development challenges. The social problem this 1ts group of students will be working on will be on the historic City Center of Paramaribo. Under guidance of their coach they develop their plan of action, budget and implementation steps. In the 5th month students present their project and exepience to the rest of the team.
