"The feedback from the teenagers and their parents and teachers was very positive...there

was a visible change in the teenagers after the programme, whether it was in how they took more responsibility for their learning, in being

more con�dent in communicating, or speaking in public. I was also very impressed with how the programme was successfully planned and

executed, with good follow-up afterwards, to ensure that the learning and engagement with

the teens were sustained."
