Blind Youth Association Kathmandu Chapter organized 2-days workshop on “Basic Leadership Development Skills” for people with Visual impairment on 15th/16th July, 2017. The main aim of organizing workshop is to enhance, Motivate, encourage, and strengthen the hidden confidence of visually impaired people and also to eliminate their fear of public speaking.
The workshop was planned for 2-days, There was 3 sessions in day 1 and 2 respectively. 25 participants had attended the program with 11 female and 14 Male from different background. Mr.Sushil Chaudari, (A program director of INSEC Nepal) facilitated the program.
Mr. Chaudari used an interactive way to communicate among the participants. On first day, discussion was on a general topic to be a good leader. Mr. Chaudhary facilitated trainees regarding: What is Leadership, Quality of a Good Leader, Role of a Leader and Basic Types of a Leader. The participants’ were highly influenced by his facilitation.
On Next Day, 16th Jul, 2017- the workshop was divided in to two effective sessions, at first the short recap was done on the previous day discussed topic and then, Mr. Chaudhary started his formal session. "Manage by Mind, Lead by Heart". It was a single line which reflected the main learning of that day. Basically we discussed on Human Right, Approach of Human Right, the Context Analysis of Human Rights in Nepalese society, Connection of Human rights with disability, also we had healthy conversation on SDG/ Sustainable Development Goals along with its Targets and indicators. Mr Chaudhary gave us an idea regarding Advocacy on the case of Disability. He described some of the acts and provisions made by Nepalese constitution 2072 BS for disabled people which will surely help us to speak up for our rights, boycott any kind of discrimination and injustices. After conducting this program several positive feedback were drawn from the participants like "such program will be helpful in developing their skills and increase their confidence level." And, off course, such feedback from the participants encouraged management committee to conduct further training programs for visual impairment people to boost their skills, strengths and confidence level.
