Skillizen Olympiads Foundation Presents International Life Skills Olympiad 2023. It is a Harvard University Alumnus Initiative. Life skills are the skills that we need to deal effectively with the challenges we face in our everyday life, whether at school, at work, or in our personal life. We can say that it is a “set of skills that allows us to live our life to its fullest”. The students who are able to understand and use these skills, along with their school education, will be much better placed to take advantage of personal and professional opportunities in the future. In today’s constantly changing environment, having Life Skills is a critical part of being able to meet the demands of daily life.
To handle modern life young children need to be taught Life Skills such as Communication, Teamwork, Leadership, Critical Thinking, Ethics, Smart Consumer Literacy, and many more. Research done at Harvard University in 2011, suggests that the most effective method to impart Critical Life Skills to young citizens is to transfer them during the Hardwiring phase of the human brain. i.e., between the age of 6 to 16 years. Having a strong foundation in Life Skills is the Key to Becoming a Successful Human Being and a Global Citizen of the 21st Century.
