Kohima, June 2 (MExN): The 5th semester students of Don Bosco College, Kohima had a three-day ‘Youth Alive’ animation programme from May 29 to 31 at the college premises. The animation was done by Francis and Thelespore of Bosco Youth Care (BYC), Don Bosco College Itanagar. A press release informed that the programme was initiated to educate, engage and empower the young minds to become the stakeholders of their own growth and development. The programmes offered were: Citizen Café, 5th Space, Gender equality, Design thinking, and Constitution connect. Duchifi of History Department termed the workshop “wonderful and awesome event.” All the three days, Duchifi said, were filled with useful information for the growth and development of the knowledge and skills of the students. “The 5th Space was an innovative and creative topic. It allowed the students to discover his/her own talent and capacities without interference from outside force. It is a space where a person knows and understands his or her talents and gifts. Another topic ‘Design thinking’ provides for the creation of distinct things and useful items which will be relevant for the society and country at large.” Meanwhile, Chubamenla Ao of Department of English said, “We were very fortunate to be part of the three day session. We learned a lot.” She also thanked the resource persons for sharing their knowledge and experiences, helping them become more aware of their inner talent and certain ideas that can change the country one day or may be even the world. Further, Sitilo Magh of Department of English said, “The three days were very fruitful and it has really opened our mind into positive perspective. An important topic we discussed was the Gender equality. Gender inequality shouldn’t be practiced, but rather equal opportunity is to be provided to all.”
