The Leading Change Campaign enables us to engage with 12–16-year-old’s across Cumbria to inspire and nurture future aspirations and empower young people to make decisions, to make commitments and ultimately to make a difference to their communities. We know from our other programmes that sort of activity can be a life-changing experience for your people, broadening their horizons and instilling a new confidence in themselves, and in their futures.
The Centre for Leadership Performance will be flexible in the delivery working with a school. Young people will have 8 weeks to develop their campaign and throughout the process will be supported by a local business mentors to support them in developing their campaign ideas. Students must still approach it like a mini-business and business mentors and experts will offer expert advice and guidance to support them in developing their champing plans and strategies, assigning roles, planning, marketing and communications, finance, handling funds and delivering results.
The programme will be led by the young people who will own & shape the campaign based on needs & ideas. The Campaign would be based on issue that matters most to them, something they want to change or make maker, this could be a local issue or linked to a national or global issue and will provide opportunities for young people to work alongside business mentors from their local communities.
The programme encourages & nurtures creative thinking; develops self-confidence as they showcase hidden talents in an accessible way Develops links between young people, secondary schools, local businesses, charities & third sector. The Leading Change programme will provide opportunities for pupils to learn through different learning interventions, gives a voice to young people – to hear their views and making them feel important and empowered to lead change and show they can influence change in their local communities.
The Centre is delighted to be delivering the Leading Change Programme. A central element of our work is providing new opportunities for young people to see beyond their own circumstances to a better, more prosperous future, and to give them the confidence and self-belief that is such an important part of personal success. Our activities with young people also equip them with the life skills that come with wider experience and interaction with role models beyond their own family and school orbit.
