A CHILD'S SILENCE SAYS IT ALL, LISTEN TO THEM.
"Training of Trainers" (ToT) workshop on "Resilience Building among Young People" was held for center managers, case managers, and counselors.
From August 21 to 26, 2024, a comprehensive "Training of Trainers" (ToT) workshop on "Resilience Building among Young People" was held for center managers, case managers, and counselors. This workshop aimed to equip participants with essential tools for managing emotions and providing effective community support. It utilized a dual approach, featuring facilitator-led sessions and interactive role plays based on real-life cases from participants' centers. The hands-on experience was highly valued, contributing significantly to both their professional and personal development.The training emphasized self-care and resilience, focusing on critical 21st-century soft skills such as Communication, Collaboration, Character, Commitment, and Certification. Participants left empowered to implement these skills in their regions, enhancing their ability to support young people.Following this, a 2-day "Training of Trainers" workshop on Child Online Protection was conducted. This session underscored the crucial need for safeguarding children from online violence, exploitation, and abuse, reinforcing the principle that every child deserves protection in the digital realm.
The music video was born from a deep concern over the rising incidents of abuse against women and children in Bhutan. Even in a nation where overall crime rates are relatively low compared to neighboring countries, this issue is alarmingly prevalent.
We believe it is essential for all of us to stand together against this violence. By uniting our voices and efforts, we can create a safer and more compassionate society. This video is a call to action, urging everyone to recognize the gravity of the issue and work collectively towards a future where everyone can live free from fear and harm. Together, we can make a difference.

The RENEW Community Service Center in Zhemgang is excited to launch our youth and adolescent program for the first time, with plans to offer similar programs every vacation. Engaging in these programs helps us better understand youth issues and fosters mutual learning and interaction. This, in turn, equips us to provide more effective services tailored to their needs.
Since the inception of our community service center, we’ve found that increased engagement with young people allows us to offer more efficient services. During vacations, we can meaningfully involve them in activities that are both entertaining and skill-building, rather than creating a traditional classroom environment.
Our primary goal is to raise awareness about gender-based violence, sexual abuse, and teenage pregnancy. Through these programs, we share our knowledge and also learn from the participants.
