Global Leadership
In the best, most modern and forward looking organisations, everyone is a leader with the potential to set a direction, make decisions and make a difference. In the 21st century workplace there is opportunity for everyone to contribute and lead.
Leadership includes time management, planning and delivery of projects. However, at a deeper level it is also about creating a vision and inspiring a team to work together towards a shared goal. Each week, we present students with a fresh challenge through which they learn to develop and apply their leadership skills in a new context:
- MODULE 1: INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
- Students examine one big global issue from all sides, prepare position papers and take their arguments to the Model United Nations.
- MODULE 2: SOCIETY
- By studying and analysing some of the greatest speeches ever written, students will learn how to confidently use rhetorical language to inspire and persuade people.
- MODULE 3: POLITICS
- Learning the language of politics students will develop manifestos, defend their ideas in political debates, and compete in a mock election.
- MODULE 4: THE MEDIA
- Students will create a campaign video to inform & persuade our international community of teenagers about an issue they feel strongly about.
KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Effective research skills and better awareness of global issues

OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP
