2024 Youth Capacity Building Camp

The 2024 Youth Capacity Building Camp will take place at ICM from 10 June until 26 July, 2024. Aiming to empower youth through value-based and fun-based learning, the project consists of physical activity (Brazilian Jiu-jitsu), and programs in 5 different fields (psychotheraphy, stress management, board games, communication and baking). 

During the course of 7 weeks (21 sessions), local out-of-school children and youths will take part in these programs three times a week. Each session will focus on the 20 qualities identified by ICM, and the last session will be a completion ceremony including awarding of certificates, etc. 

This project is particularly meaningful because it's the first time ICM is working with out-of-school youths. And because these out-of-school youths are all from the local area. It is also the first time ICM has clearly identified a certain value/quality for each of its sessions, allowing a replication of value-based approach in martial arts training.
