Established in 2017, Young Writers of Trinidad and Tobago Learning Institute embarked on an important mission: a mission which extended beyond the mere academic preparation of students. Instead, we sought to infuse a global perspective into our classrooms, bootcamps, workshops and beyond. Our rationale is firmly rooted in the belief that by targeting bright and energetic children and young people, we will help steer the country in the right, sustainable direction. Our programs and activities include:
• Day and Evening classes in the following subject areas: English Language Arts {Grammar, Spelling and Reading Comprehension}, Essay Writing {Narrative & Report} and Mathematics, for students in Standards Three to Five (Grades Four to Six)
• The Art of Public Speaking for Kids! (ages 6 to 11)
• The Diplomat Kid (promoting the 17 Global Goals - ages 6 to 11)
• COMMS 2.0 - A Presentation Skills & Digital Literacy Workshop (for students ages 12 to 17)
• A yearly Essay Writing Bootcamp (held during the July-August vacation)
• Teachings of global developments, global culture and its impact on both international and national communities in the classroom. At Young Writers, our passion also stems from the need to equip students in becoming better writers and stronger communicators, all the while, instilling global awareness at an early age. With these strategies, we promise to provide a platform that is both educational and enlightening.
