APRIL'S THEME: "OUR WORLD: NATURE & PEOPLE"
|
|
|
|
For the new month of April, we welcome Spring and want to celebrate nature and people and what they can bring into our lives. Today, we need to consider the importance of nature and be more caring with our planet. Nature heals and should be our everyday safe heaven to allow us to inhale, exhale and breathe peacefully. Like connecting with nature, connecting with people with whom we feel our best can also be healing. We want to cultivate a more profound sense of greater awareness, gratitude, and connection through this month's theme of nature and people. Therefore, this month is an invitation to our community to deeply nurture our relationships with nature and our friends and family.

Soft skills, after all, are what make us human, and as far as we know, can’t be performed well by technologies like artificial intelligence. Self-reflection is the foundation that all other soft skills grow from.
