Think Pacific

• Think Pacific Volunteer

  • May 2022 - Jun 2022

  I participated in a Youth Empowerment expedition with Think Pacific. This entailed living in a remote Fijian village for a month, and delivering a workshop programme to the local youth community. This involved organising and delivering workshops alongside fellow volunteers on a variety of topics such as mental health and leadership skills, often in a short timeframe with limited resources. During the project I also learned about traditional cultural practices, cultivating cultural sensitivity and emotional intelligence.My skills for communicating effectively were strongly developed - due to crossing cultural barriers and explaining often ambiguous concepts in simple terms. Event planning and tailoring workshops for a target audience were also skills I developed - as I figured out ways to distinguish relevant topics for content, and to fit activities based on them to a 3 hour workshop. Working in a different country and culture was a big change, and required adaptability, flexibility and strong emotional management at times - particularly when plans were changed quickly or reality was different to initial understandings.
