MOVE Plus - NCS, Dubai

In beginning of the school year in September, the MOVE Plus program was launched at the National Charity School in Dubai for 230 eleventh grade students, ages 15 to 17 years. The MOVE (Motivational Empowerment program) is an interactive training program designed to instill in attendees a sense of civic responsibility, as well as empower them with the skills needed to become team-builders, communicators, goal-setters and achievers which, in turn enhances their career development as these high school students move into the working world or enter higher education. The MOVE also focuses on imparting training that will equip attendees with the skills needed to organize and support social initiatives, and have a positive impact in their community.
 
The students will benefit from a 40 minute class on Wednesday each week of the school year. Each class is designed around a theme to provide training in life skills, as well as opportunities for students to communicate in an English environment.

I learned that anyone can make the world a better place and can make a difference. Now I feel confident that I can make a difference, and after I finish school I'm going to volunteer and try to make a difference myself. I'd like to thank the MOVE Program, because this program improves us, it improves our school and makes it a better place.
