On February 17, 2017, the children from the “Way Home” took place in the training on developing their leader’s qualities. The event was lead by the psychologists of the “Way Home” Foundation and the charity organization «This Child Here».

The children got to know what helps to maintain the relations between the people, how to learn to trust people and what qualities the leader has. Apart from the knowledge given during the theoretical part of the training, the children took part in the practical part – they were gaining experience during the exercises.
Natalia Slyusarenko, the psychologist of “This Child Here” said: “The children learned that taking responsibility is not so easy. That being a leader means taking responsibility and getting to know and respect the needs of every person from the group. Children learned to maintain the relations within the group in a polite and trustful way. During a game they have learned and experienced what it means to be in a leading position”.
After the training has finished, the children shared their experiences.
