Our Next Generation Youth Leadership programme in conjunction with Blue Vista is back!
This TY programme involves Andy Burke (leadership and high-performance coach) delivering leadership workshops, and our Sport Inclusion Development Officer James, delivering Disability Awareness training to a students from participating post-primary schools.
This is a unique programme in that it presents the opportunity for students to learn the theory of leadership and pick up practical leadership skills that they can apply throughout their lives. The aim of the Next Generation Youth Leadership programme is to help develop and inspire young leaders within our communities.
Some of the topics covered in the leadership workshops include:
- Understanding leadership
- Personal leadership
- Team leadership
- Goal setting & leading change
These topics will help develop students knowledge of leadership and help build their understanding and awareness of their own unique leadership style. Students will develop a sense of how their leadership can impact those individuals, teams, committees, and communities where they are actively engaged. In some cases, it may promote a desire to become more involved in helping and the students ability to set goals, both for their own development and for those teams or groups where they are making a positive impact.
