Leadership – Traditional Leaders In The Community
Meaning of Tradition
Traditions are beliefs or behaviors passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past. They help us connect with our history and ancestors.
How Traditions are formed
Traditions are formed and maintained through stories, rituals, and customs that are repeated over time and often modified slightly with each generation but keeping the core intact.
What the leaders discuss about the development of the community
Traditional leaders discuss matters like cultural festivals, land disputes, and community development projects. They make decisions that help preserve the community’s heritage and improve its future.
Lesson Evaluation:
To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:
- Define what a tradition is.
- Name one tradition in your community and who maintains it.
- What might be discussed in a community meeting led by traditional leaders?
- Why is it important for traditional leaders to discuss community development?
