This document outlines an agenda for a capacity building workshop on education, extra-curricular activities, and opportunities. The plan includes lectures, videos, and exercises. For education, participants discuss definitions and types. Extra-curricular activities are defined as outside of classwork and include sports, community service, arts, and hobbies. A game demonstrates teambuilding. Opportunities involve exploiting situations to do what you want, like a social enterprise project. The workshop aims to help participants develop leadership skills through educational and hands-on activities.

16. WHAT ARE EXTRA-CURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES?
What for?

17. DEFINITION OF EXTRACURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES
The word “extracurricular” can be broken down into its roots
for a literal explanation: “extra” means “outside” and
“curricular” refers to all of the work you do in the classroom.
So extracurricular activities are just activities that you do
outside of class.

18. TYPES OF EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Sports, which includes playing on a school sport team, or a club
team outside of your school.
Community Service, which includes any sort of volunteer work,
either in your community, on a national scale, or abroad.
Employment, including any jobs or internships.
Arts, which includes visual arts, performing arts, comedy, culinary
arts – this list is almost endless.
Hobbies, such as blogging, browsing, and more.
Academic activities, essay competition, research, or writing.

19. TIPS!
Keep in mind that extracurricular activities are those that somehow developed
talents that you will use later in life, developed your leadership skills, allowed you
to show involvement with your community, and allowed you to make an
impact.
Going to the movies every weekend with your friends doesn’t count. But starting a
film club at school for fellow film aficionados definitely does count!

20. EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES THAT
WILL BOOST YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS
- Carry out your own project
- Do volunteer work
- Join a sports team
- Get involved in student politics
- Develop your team building skills

21. GAME 2: TEAMBUILDING
Human Lava: It is going to be a race on sheet of papers.
- Each team member is supposed to stand only on the paper
- Once the team moves ahead, the last team mate will pick the last paper and give it
to the next partner till in reaches the first person.
- The movement continues till finish
Tips: No one steps out of the sheet of paper and no paper should fall, else the entire
team restarts.

22. LESSONS FROM EXTRA-CURRICULAR
- Associative life: an organization of people with a common purpose and having a
formal/informal structure.
Watch video on how to create an association in Cameroon.
