Students of the Electronic and Commercial Arts Center (ECC) of the Lebanese Organization for Studies and Training (LOST) took second place in the Robotics course, organized by the Lebanese International University (LIU) for Bekaa Institutes and Schools. The Electronic and Commercial center is a vocational institution which provides different majors to prepare students for future employment. The participating students were trained on Robotics within the CBT program implemented by LOST, in collaboration with UNICEF.
The CBT program is part of the “Skills for Active Youth” project, which aims at training young individuals on life skills that prepare them to respond to significant life events, as well as enabling them to live in an interdependent society. The life skills that the youth acquire will assist them to function effectively in a changing world. The project focuses on four main dimensions of learning: to be, to know, to do, and to live together. Most importantly, it will be a chance to prepare youth for employment, as well as entrepreneurship opportunities.
