What Students learn
Our Youth Leadership Programme has been designed with young people and their needs at its core.

The programme is designed to bring out the innate talent and abilities of each individual student while giving them the opportunity to develop valuable leadership skills.
This course combines classroom learning with a wide variety of interactive and fun team tasks. As well as teaching students about goal setting and time management, they will take part in a number of exercises that will allow them to express themselves and understand more about team dynamics and self reflection.
