Our Year 10 students recently had the opportunity to participate in a workshop run by the Centre for Sustainability Leadership - a not-for-profit organisation that aims to help participants develop the skills to influence systems and build networks and experiences that can provide them a platform from which to take action for social change.
While there are people who seem to be naturally endowed with more leadership abilities than others, people can learn to become leaders by improving particular skills.
The workshop focused on experiential learning, with students working collaboratively on a group project which they would like to see implemented; exploring the principles of sustainable leadership; reflecting on the qualities of a leader who inspires them and evaluating their individual strengths and weaknesses and their personal style of leadership.
Group projects included sustainable and animal-friendly tools and processes for the School, the development of a day for ‘self-love’ and ‘de-stressing’ and the design and construction of an outdoor classroom. Over the next two weeks, the students will meet to discuss their ideas and work towards implementing them to benefit the School community.
