This document outlines a project to develop life skills and key competencies in students through extracurricular activities at schools in English and German language. The project involves over 320 students participating in workshops run by 13 teacher tutors over 3 years to develop skills like cultural awareness, communication, mathematics, digital skills, learning, social/civic skills, initiative and health. Some example workshops listed are acting, debate club, nature club, web design, and business skills. The goals are to increase student motivation, develop new knowledge and skills, rationalize student leisure time, and reduce dropouts.

development of creative thinking and
analysis, decision-making skills,

8. Definitions: Key competences are a
combination of knowledge,
skills and attitudes appropriate
to the context. They are
particularly necessary for
personal fulfillment and
development, social inclusion,
active citizenship and
employment.
Key competences are essential
in a knowledge society and
guarantee more flexibility in the
labour force, allowing it to
adapt more quickly to constant
changes in an increasingly
interconnected world. They are
also a major factor in
innovation, productivity and
competitiveness, and they
contribute to the motivation
and satisfaction of workers and
the quality of work.
9. Why Life skills?
“Children enter school as question marks and
leave as periods.” Neil Postman
“Life
skills?! Excuse me, they are given by
nature or by God.” University teacher
“Kids have no skills for work , skills for learning,
they have no skills about how to handle stressful
situation, no skills to handle personal problems.”
Director of a school
