1. Leadership
2. Counseling,
3. Servant hood,
4. Business skills
5. Mentorship
6. holistic community and personal development
7. Art (dance, drama, music training and live stage production delivery)
8. Teaching life skills and delivering art workshops.
9. Comprehensive knowledge on HIV/AIDS/ Gender and Human Rights Dimension.
The team trains for four months after which it starts reaching out to different communities. Through this initiative over 20 000 young people have been reached in two years. These have benefited through the inter-action with Core-art International and also have been trained, served, and involved in our projects and programs. A lot of them share testimonies on the impact the team has had on their lives. This is just in our first two years and with the right resources we are looking at tripling the impact yearly of Core-art International’s team in Swaziland.
Some of our students after being trained have been recognized by other institutions both locally and internationally as assets artistically and in youth development.
