I place high value on this conference. It is an historic moment for us.
Today world has grown complex and without skills of living and learning,
it is pretty difficult to cope up with life. Communication Skills are
at the root of leadership skills. We have invested a huge amount of
money in arranging this course where 17 trainers will help 44 students
to imbibe essential leadership skills in a heuristic mode; learning by
doing things. It is an intensive course workshop, with 12 hours working
day w.e.f 27 to 30th May. I am sure you will make the best
use of this golden opportunity. Unfortunately we as a nation are in a
deep crisis. Lawlessness, bloodshed; terrorism is taking a heavy toll.
We need to develop leadership skills of our youth by disseminating
tolerance, love, affection and harmony; so as to weld multi-ethnic and
multi-lingual communities into a unified nation. These views were
expressed by Prof Dr Mohammad Nizamuddin in his keynote address, while
chairing the “Pakistan Leadership Conference” 27-30 May 2012,at Hafiz
Hayat Campus, University of Gujrat(UOG). The conference and its
attendant workshop has been organized by UOG in collaboration with
University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN), NGO, Global Youth Leadership
GYL and Higher Education Commission (HEC). Mr Murtaza Noor of the HEC
was the Chief Guest whereas Dr J Thompson Founder of GYL and Dr Melling
co-founder of GYL and Director of Center for volunteering and community
leadership (UCLAN) were the guests of honour and graced the stage.
Ms Aneesa Rahat Director Student Service Center UOG also accompanied them on the stage. Dr J Thompson from the California University USA detailed the formation of GYL and its activities around the world; serving communities and students. She said, “Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all these acts will be written the history of this generation... It is from numberless diverse act of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Dr Melling in her assertive address emphasized the need for adopting a more proactive pedagogy. She detailed the merits of critical pedagogy pioneered by Paulo Frère a Brazilian who has introduced revolutionary methodologies in learning. She referred to ‘Pedagogy of the oppressed’ by Paulo Frère, as the most liberating pedagogy for the human mind and soul. She said the GYL was working on Frere’s concepts of developing critical consciousness, peer interaction, situational learning and Dialogue as the gateway to consientization.
