An interactive session that explores how and why the practice of relating to others with acceptance, understanding and sensitivity to diverse experiences is such an essential skill in 21st Century Leadership.
The workshop will look at historical models of leadership and how they might manifest themselves, and how young people can help to develop greater empathetic leadership skills both in and out of school. The session also includes breakout group work and role-playing activities that encourage young people to develop and apply empathetic leadership skills to a range of different real-world situations, and to consider the outcomes.
