Scholars were required to disect tough articles that tackled current issues regarding the Khat controversy, Lynas, ICERD and so on. It\u2019s amazing to see how these young people, high school and Pre-U students tried their best to apply what they\u2019ve learnt and presented their findings in front of a crowd. It was certainly a very practical and hands on workshop where the students took away valuable lessons. Throughout, CTG also had their mentors come over, not only to guide the students through these brainy activities, but also to share their lives and build relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Moreover, the scholars also had the opportunity to have a lunch chat with Dato Sri\u2019 Nazir Razak and the Co-Founder and Managing Director of Teach For Malaysia who both shared a bit about their life learnings, ambitions, personal experiences and jobs of the future.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5439 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/csr.taylorsedu.my\/taylorscommunity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/CTG1.png?resize=677%2C452&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"677\" height=\"452\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Following this, Nathaniel Tan and Deborah Chow from Engage Education, both committed and experienced in Education, was present to share about their life journey, tips on studying effectively and strategies to enter top universities.<\/p>\n<p>To sum up, it was a heavy yet productive day for the scholars, guest speakers and mentors.
