REASONS FOR FINDING THE WORKSHOP USEFUL
It helps me to be an environment leader I
learnt new things found out that environmental
issues are quite serious! I learnt a lot of
new presentation techniques I never learnt
before
I learnt how to speak bravely in front of an
audience
Its fun and brings out the hidden talent in us
I was taught the proper manner to convey the
messages am certain I can now present in front
of my motley of schoolmates more confidently!
