*If members do not know sewing skills, they can use glue (e.g. using hot melt glue) instead. Leaders can provide assistance as well. |
Which elements of the method are used, and how? |
☑ My path, my pace – Members learn how to use sewing machine and make some handicrafts. They also learn different sewing skills.
☑ Learning by doing – Members learn new housework skills. They can sew their clothes themselves or make decoration. They practice more to strengthen their skills. |
How does the method give youth members a chance to take the lead? |
Members can explore more study areas and learn more skills outside school. If they take the lead in future, they should be brave enough to accept challenges, even in the fields they are not proficient in. |
How can you connect this activity to the values of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting? |
Members review the skills they have learnt and suggest the new challenge they want to try. They actively develop a wide range of interests and meet more friends with same interests. |
