Why Life Skills?

Life skills are the abilities and behaviors that help us deal effectively with the events and challenges of everyday life.

Why Life Skills?

Do you know that teaching and learning life skills are incredibly important for empowering young people to achieve success in education, employment and personal goals?

According to National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), teaching and learning life skills are incredibly important for empowering young people to achieve success in education, employment and personal goals. 

In her groundbreaking book, "Mind in the Making," Ellen Galinsky describes life skills as essential skills for success in all aspects of life, including college, relationships, and work. 

Life skills are the abilities and behaviors that help us deal effectively with the events and challenges of everyday life. 

They are the skills that allow us to handle everything from interactions with others to identifying and processing our emotions. 

They assist us to develop self-confidence and successfully deal with significant life struggles and changes. 

Interestingly, only a few universities all over the world have integrated life skills into their education systems; and University of Petroleum and Energy Studies is the part of the proud league. 

Glad to be a member of School For Life team at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies to offer these incredible life skills to its dynamic student community.

It was an honor to teach elements of Indian culture to 28 British youngsters (from various universities in the UK) who came to India for a British Council-supported 14-day-long “Generation UK-India” programme. 

I taught them with the help of inspiring interactions, interesting activities and fun games, in a professional and approachable manner. 

I am very sure and strongly believe that education on Life Skills is set to see a significant increase in demand across the globe.
