The importance that Sikhs attach to working for and wishing well to others can be seen in the fact that a Sikh prays aloud at least twice a day: 'O God, in Your Name shower Your blessings on everyone.' In other words, Sikhs pray not only for themselves but also for the whole brotherhood of humanity.

It has been explained that Sikhs must respect all people. They may appear different because of their language, colour, figure, social habits but these variations are superficial and the result of different cultures and climates in which one is born and reared. Internally, we all have the same spirit. Just as gold can be made into ornaments of different designs but it remains gold, so people's outward appearance can be different but still they remain human beings created by the same God.

Gurseva organised a Skills Project supported by the Local Network Fund and the Thames Community Foundation

Skills Project in Southall. In September 2007 local youth in Conjunction with the Gurseva Project began a series of 10 workshops to improve the skills of the local youth. The skills we focused on improving included

• Written and oral communication,

• critical thinking,

• active learning

• Project Management

• Leadership

• Creativity/Innovation

• Action Planning,

• Decision Making

• Oral/Visual Presentations

• Active Listening

• Information Skills

• Groupwork/Teamwork

• self-management skills and

• the ability to work with others. • Interview skills

This project was fully supported by Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Southall and the workshops themselves took place at Norwood Green Hall (recently acquired by SGSSS) every Saturday morning from 11 am till 12:30pm . These were free workshops and were completely open to all. As the seminars themselves were in English the majority of attendees were youngsters between the ages of 11-22 although some attendees were parents and older. In fact one memorable workshop on project management was done in dual language so that the resident giani could understand it as well. Armed with his newly acquired project management skills he was greatly appreciative to all the organisers and the lecturers. Key to these workshops was having excellent speakers present who were more than capable of delivering such topics. Over the 10 weeks we had Dr Savi Sing Arora MBA from Knowledge Hemispheres, Vijay Singh a Business Studies lecturer from Uxbridge College, Hardeep Singh of Ethnic Confusion Britain and expert in marketing and media and Dr Satinder Singh Key Skills lecturer at West London College to name but a few. It is hoped that the series of events will be repeated in the Summer of 2008. For further information or to register interest for the next series please contact us
