TWI FOR THE CHILDREN
LEADERSHIP TRAINING WORKSHOP
JULY 2008

 

This page provide the goals and itinerary of the TWI for the Children's initial Leadership Training Workshop to be held in Bijelo, Montenegro in July 2008.  University students from the United States, Croatia, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina have been invited to attend the three day workshop.

 

Purpose of the TWI Leadership Training Camp is to bring TWI for the Children Camp to Kids  interpreter teams from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, and Croatia to join our American team for the TWI camp program at the orphanage in Bijela, Montenegro. Director Borislav Djukanovic has welcomed our TWI team members from around the Balkans to the Home, for the new Leadership Program and he has arranged for the team to stay together in the Villa located on the grounds of the orphanage.
 
The Goal of the Leadership Training Camp is to: 
(1) discuss career skills necessary for working in a multicultural workplace. The workshops will be informal and will be held in conjunction with the "TWI camp for the Children" at the Montenegro orphanage. Participants will  share in the discussions. 

(2)  invite team members with successful careers to discuss their careers, how they selected this career, are they happy, are they successful.  

(3) discuss the careers open to young people today, what they are willing to do to be successful, steps to success, happiness and success and is it necessary to be happy in order to be successful. During the camp time with the children, we will be on the teams of our choice (games, musical activities, games, crafts).
