Topic 1: Which skills are the most important for the young to master in this century?

1. Notes: 2-3 skills => explain why they are important

2. Outline: 7h03-7h18

Skill 1: Critical thinking

understand the consequences of our actions and solve problems


=>play a vital role in everyday life, for example: deciding on which is the best approach to a problem (CAREER
CHOICE => CONSIDER …)
Skill 2: Cooperation
- Reduce negative competition?
- Team cooperation encourages INDIVIDUALS to work together for the benefit of the GROUP. It reduces the
desire of MEMBERS to compete against each other, which often is never good for the business, and instead focus
on working together to achieve a common goal.
- Only by working together, exchanging ideas and knowledge, and combining their abilities, people can
achieve great results.

studying, working or traveling.

friends .

Topic 2: Should children be taught to work individually or cooperate with others?

1. OUTLINE: 7H35-7H50

- Individual:
+ Independence: children have to cope with problems on their own and without any help => be responsible for
their doings and know what to do in case of emergency => Not reliant on their parents or teammates to finish
their assignments.
+ DEVELOP IMPORTANT SKILLS: Some hidden abilities only revealed when one facing their self alone:
Improvisation, Multitasking, Problem-solving (talents?) TIME-MANAGEMENT => One must know to work with
themselves first before working with others.
- Group:
+ Loads of tasks: Some tasks can only be completed in coop (global issues) in which the competence of only one
individual is not enough => Learning cooperation skills allows dealing with further problems in the future.
+ Prospects: Many crucial skills in groups (leadership, sharing, avoiding conflicts, …) are important when applying
for jobs (having to work with colleagues) => Improve job prospects in the
future, esp when our group are involved in the topic that is attracting much attention.

1. Work independently.

- PREVENT peer pressure AND CONFLICTS

+ ORGANIZE THE SCHEDULE IN YOUR OWN WAY, NOT RELYING ON OTHERS’ FINISHING WORK => AVOID
RUSHING/ DISCOMFORT

+ Self-comparison with other peers, especially for those of lower calibre in the field => afraid to raise their voice
and confidently express their perspectives.

+ Prevent arguments among the members due to the overwhelming number of different ideas => impeding the
speed of finishing the task.

- Instill independence in children: working alone forces children to do everything on their own and take
responssibility for the work regardless of the performance; otherwise, they may over-rely on their teammates,
which is an undesirable trait.

- 2. Cooperate:

- Receive help from their teammates: when a member encounter a setback along the way, they will earn
feedback and advice from others when they will normally have to figure out the problems on their own

- Skills: CRITICAL THINKING
