- During the workshop, Chishi shared her insights and experiences in the field of event management, emphasising the challenges and rewards of organising events.

- Speaking on the occasion, Kahuto reminded the students that culture does not necessarily mean only food, dress, or other outward expressions. He highlighted that culture means value — value that was transmitted to individuals by their forefathers.
- Stating that the values of honesty, dignity, and hard work are the best gifts to outsmart corruption and dishonesty, he encouraged the younger generation to uphold those values instilled by their ancestors. He expressed that every individual is here for a reason and articulated that when one does good, one can truly influence others to do the same.
- He stressed the preservation of indigenous languages, which he believes is an invaluable asset, and urged the importance of literature in society.
- The literary competition comprised a poetry contest based on the poem ‘Where the Mind is Without Fear’ by Rabindranath Tagore. ‘Voice of Yemhians’ Season 1 was introduced, with several participants singing their favourite songs. Indigenous games competitions, including fat eating, snail eating, and bamboo pole climbing, were also held.

- According to a press release, in his address, John emphasised that skill training is hugely dependent on disciplined self-practice and stated that the main objective of providing such training is to promote entrepreneurship.
- He encouraged the students to actively participate and take advantage of the opportunities available to them. John further stressed that graduates with additional certificates of skills have an advantage when seeking employment.
- The different trades the students will be trained in over the five days include banana fibre extraction and handicraft, natural fibre processing and handicrafts, handmade paper and pulp, fruit and vegetable dehydration and processing, bamboo handicrafts, house wiring and maintenance, and waste management.
