VietnamJUMP is a community service project initiated in 2007 by the Vietnamese Community at National University of Singapore (VNCNUS). Growing over the years, we aim to promote the spirit of volunteerism between Vietnamese students and international friends as well as bringing help and hope to children in Vietnam. On 21 Februrary 2011, 17 students from VietnamJUMP participated in a workshop organized by Facilitators@NUS. Designed as a platform to allow the members to know each other better and to promote teambonding and communications, the 2-hour program includes a series of icebreakers and initiative games such as “Significant Year”, where participants have to pick a coin from a coin punch and tell the group what has happened to him or her in the particular year the coin was minted and “Helium Hoop”, where the team has to work together in a bid to lower the “helium” hoop to the ground. Given the positive responses after the workshop, the programme has succeeded in its objectives.

Facilitators@NUS will be holding its recruitment drive for Academic Year 2010/2011 in the month of March. We would like to invite all interested students to join our Facilitators@NUS family.

As student facilitators, we cater and design teambuilding and leadership workshops and programmes to enhance the learning experience of NUS community. We also engage, observe and work with professional trainers, picking up facilitation skills from them to make learning more interactive, inspiring and fun.

For those who are curious in being the next generation of student facilitators yet still uncertain of what student facilitators do, come join our exciting workshops in Feb & Mar 2010 and find out what it takes to be a student facilitator (details of the workshops will be up in the IVLE and NUS school email, stay tuned!).

The invaluable experience of facilitation and experiential learning do not only sharpen essential skills such as communication, networking and organisation, they also provide an opportunity to expand social networks and reach out to a broader community. Being a Facilitators@NUS is truly a journey where you achieve personal growth in discovering the real learning moments in life.
