Our Approach
1
Gift Exploration
Participants are introduced to a variety of activities and environments where they can try, engage, and experience new forms of expression.
2
Discovery
Through consistent participation, individuals begin to recognize their interests, strengths, and preferred ways of engaging with others.
3
Development
With guidance and encouragement, participants build skills, confidence, and the ability to express their gifts more clearly and consistently.
This progression is embedded across all Milal Weekly Programs.
