GIRLS DRIVING CHANGE

CHANGE GIRLS DRIVING

The Global Activist Leadership Programme is a new initiative for all Year 10 students. It is a global partnership between Nightingale Bamford School in New York City and Wilderness School in Adelaide. Through informed activism, students will improve their understanding of leadership, practise team skills and enhance their understanding of the complex systems that govern outcomes for people around theglobe. Everyone has the capacity to lead. Tosupport this, students will learn about themselves, what they care about, thevalues that guide them, their unique ‘superpowers’ or strengths, theirunderstanding of leadership and whatit takes to lead change. An exciting and empowering learning adventure, students will drive a selfidentified initiative through the design and implementation of a collaborative Social Impact Project. They will be supported in their endeavours at Ruyton, their local community, or even globally! Students will use a research protocol to guide their project and will support the development of an informed position on the issue. They have access to their very own Leading Change in a Changing World website, which has been strategically designed to lead them through processes that support them as leaders both now and into the future.
