Building Bridges through Leadership Training (BBLT) is BYLC’s two-and-a-half month-long signature leadership training program designed for students enrolled between A-Levels/H.S.C./Alim to the second year of university. Students from English and Bengali medium schools and Madrassas are invited to apply and will be chosen based on a competitive selection process.
The curriculum for the program draws heavily from leadership courses taught at Harvard University. In the classroom, the students will run experiments, take risks, and question their deeply held assumptions. Teaching methodologies will include a combination of lectures, large class discussions, small group peer consultations, reflection, and team-building exercises.
At the end of the program, the students will have the opportunity to translate their learning into action by implementing community service projects in underprivileged communities. Leadership and management training courses are specialized programs designed to help you learn new leadership techniques and refine old skills to run your team, including assertive communication, motivation methods, and coaching.
