Leadership Training for Club Mega Members

A group consists of 48 college students, all members of Club Mega under Mega Cebu (www.megacebu.org), recently underwent training to improve their capabilities and help carry out their role in nation-building.

The Kool Adventure Camp (KAC) of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) trained these students from the University of Cebu, Velez College, University of the Philippines Cebu, University of San Jose-Recoletos, University of San Carlos, and Southwestern University.

The regular experiential training is also designed to equip the participants with the right character and enough competence through powerful reflective learning activities. It concentrates on shaping a positive mindset to create positive results and strengthening it further by facing one’s dragons in form of ropes course.

Club Mega was established to form a group of young leaders who advocate for Mega Cebu to various sectors. The Mega Cebu Vision 2050 foresees a vibrant, equitable, sustainable, and competitive environment that embraces Cebu’ s creativity and its cultural, historical and natural resources, with strong citizen participation and responsive governance.

“RAFI-KAC’s training was an insightful experience for Club Mega. We were able to face our dragons in life and use those challenges as a way to commit to equipping the youth to be leaders for a Mega Cebu. The training also tapped the potential in each of us, as citizens and stakeholders of Cebu, as part of the process in community building,” said Dan Jules Jorolan, Club Mega executive chairman.

Christian Taala, a Club Mega USC-Chapter officer, added, “The RAFI-KAC experience was an eye opener. It made me reassess my mindset. It taught me that a simple positive mindset can change the results of complicated events or complex problems and this is necessary for achieving our goal in Club Mega.”

Despite the group’s diversity, the members also committed to help make the Mega Cebu Vision 2050 happen.
