About the Series

McDonald’s – South West CDC Youth Inspiration Series will be taking place on Friday, 18 March 2005 from 3 - 5 pm at the McDonald’s @ West Coast Park. Our guest speaker, Mr Jim Lim, a veteran social worker with the Juvenile and Family Courts, will be addressing issues of juvenile delinquency by speaking on:

“Today’s Youths:
Leaders or Rebels Without a Cause?”

Benefits to students
• Designed to be a dynamic sharing session, youths will gain greater insights into juvenile delinquency by not only hearing about first-hand experiences from Mr Jim Lim, but be able to expand on their individual thoughts with other youths
• Students will be challenged to strategize ways of ameliorating juvenile delinquency and can even translate these thoughts into practical actions by being offered the chance to be involved in the planning and management of relevant projects
• All points discussed will be posted online at www.heartware.org. Youths can play a catalytic role by expanding on what they have learnt with other youths.

This inspiring session is FREE and only limited to 80 youths (first come first served basis) – or 5 potential youth leaders per school (McDonald’s refreshments will be served)

Objectives

The series is also planned with a set of wider objectives in mind. Below are the objectives:
