We learn, unlearn and relearn all the time, I hope all YQSF leaders across all cadres including some student national executives that attended will ensure to utilise the knowledge gained from this retreat in the discharge of their responsibilities and growth as leaders of the forum.

The feedback we've received has been overwhelmingly positive, and it’s clear that the content resonated with the audience.
