Leadership

Become a leader for change

Our Leadership course takes a practical approach to values-based leadership for change. This caters to young people who are passionate about making a positive difference in the world. The course also introduces tools for visioning, planning, and record-keeping. Most importantly, the course helps participants identify for themselves a core set of values to guide decision-making.

Who should take this course?

Anyone who desires to be a positive force for change, who is interested in developing their sense of self and their leadership skills.

Highlights and learning

This course depends on experiential learning to explore leadership. Spending a good deal of time outdoors, we conduct three separate simulations of current global issues. These require participants to experiment, apply their learning, and collaborate. Playfully working through challenging situations offers the chance to acquire resilience, develop flexibility, and learn about living with ambiguity.
