RYLA is a rotary district project which is run for a week in December. The program aims at focusing on personal growth, leadership development and sense of community.  
Overview of what candidates did in their time at RLYA. This included each day doing around 3 - 4 activities/speaker sessions. Each day in groups students reflected on what they had done that day. In the middle of their stay all candidates went camping. There was also a special Rotary dinner where they presented to members what they had done during the week.
What did I get from RYLA - (Sebastien) Values & Vision activity especially beneficial, the ability to express freely without judgement, forming connections with likeminded people and the development of communication skills.

Why I was interested in RYLA (Sebastien) - Leadership is important, to understand myself better, meet likeminded people, always something to learn.
My time after RYLA - (Sebastien) Creating a Youtube channel, focus on goal setting, create a document for self-development, plan to speak at an event (eg Tedx), take my team at Infinite Edge through a values and vision exercise.
My time at RYLA - (Greta) Followed on with a lot of what Sebastien had said. Though she did say about halfway through the week she managed to find her feet. She became more confident and enjoyed the activities that they undertook. In reflecting she valued the communication skills she had acquired.
