During school holidays, kids anticipate breaking the monotonous cycle of eat-sleep-study, and jolt up to welcome all the adventure summer can bring.
Speed Youth is one such organisation that helps the little ones keep busy as they take on fun and exciting activities.
Every year, the ‘Summer Program’ organised by Speed Youth at Scholastica Senior Campus, facilitates all kinds of fun activities that significantly help them take interest in different fields and unearth their talent. Children from a range of age group, from different schools, all come together to share common passions and establish lifelong hobbies and interests. Children aged 8-18 are inspired to undertake various engaging courses. Arts and craft, photography, dancing, computer courses, writing and reading – there is something for everyone.
“The main aim of the Summer Program is to build certain life changing skills in students,” says Samia Mallik, Coordinator of the Youth Development Program,
“We try to offer extracurricular programs to the students, the kind that are generally not offered in school.’’
Another common ground for all children is art. Who doesn’t like art? Art classes offered here however, are not the stereotypical form of art. This is art with imagination.
Kids discover their own hidden talents as they get their hands spattered with paint and glitters, making crafts and artworks and creating one masterpiece after another. With glitters, glue and clay, everyday is like an episode of art-attack.
Music classes don’t dwell on teaching the tedious history of the musicians, instead you get to sing along and perform to enjoyable numbers like ‘What Does The Fox Say’ and the famous ‘Let it Go’ among many others. Music enthusiasts also take on the challenge of learning the guitar as they fulfil the long craved desire to be a rockstar.
Dance and Drama breaks the ice once students express themselves and encourage one another as they practice hard for their day end performance. The atmosphere and production props bring out the theatrical setting that inspires the students to work their best.
Summer School program aspires to bring out the creativity and originality
in kids in all fields. Its attempt to flourish their skills and hobbies, which will not only give them an empowering childhood, but also help them excel in the long run. It’s no new revelation that it is these attempts which help young minds build their self confidence and expand their social interaction with those around them. It is an initiative that helps the growing kids develop their area of expertise and love for recreation; not only as a fun pastime, but as a stimulating quality to possess.
Perhaps one of the best feelings is attending the graduation ceremony that takes place at the end of the program. The kids display their incredible performances, showing off their new skills and talents at the graduation. By the end of the program, students are awarded certificates for their well deserved accomplishments.
Speed Youth’s Summer Program forms are available at Scholastica’s campuses at Dhanmondi, Uttara and Mirpur. For more information contact their corporate office at Baridhara or refer to Speed’s website or Facebook page.
