In addition to medical care, NGMV have successfully introduced a further faction to the Charity focusing on teaching a variety of life skills to young people at home and in Iraqi Kurdistan. The Life Academy aims to empower people to tackle challenging life topics that are rarely taught in traditional educational establishments. The sessions help to promote a cohesive society by increasing awareness of various aspects of life through innovative experience-based learning by providing a forum for knowledge exchange and self-development leading to self-actualisation. NGMV also prioritises clinical education in the UK and Internationally. The charity has organised and hosted numerous events and forums that have attracted hundreds of participants. Many of these events are delivered using a hybrid model to provide virtual access for underprivileged individuals at no cost.
