Leadership Programme
At Leaders of the Future (a Outreach and SU partnership programme), we are passionate about ensuring that young people have the right skills to become successful leaders in the future and reach their full potential to be able to take on leadership roles at school or beyond.
We are looking for some fantastic UEA Student leaders and recent graduates who are currently in leadership roles to join us!
What does the programme involve?
Key Stage: 3/4, Years: 9-11
Aim: Upskill pupils who have leadership roles within schools, on a variety of topics to help fulfil their roles and be the best leaders they can be. Expose pupils to University students who are also in positions of leadership, who can provide advice and guidance and be a role model.
Many secondary schools in Norfolk and North Suffolk provide their pupils with opportunities to become school leaders. These opportunities include:
- School councils
- Prefects
- Heads of house
- Head boy/girl
- Form Captains
- School Committees
As University students and recent graduates in roles of leadership, you have a great amount of skills and experience to share with these pupils.
We are looking to run an online ‘Leadership Programme’ to help support and upskill pupils in leadership roles, from our Outreach schools. We hope to offer a series of 20 min pre-recorded webinars that schools can use at their convenience, to advise and guide pupils on how to be a successful leader.
We are looking for University representatives such as yourself, to record a short webinar based on your own experiences as a leader. These webinars can be anything that relates to your leadership skillset and could cover numerous topics related to leadership, such as:
- What makes a good leader
- How to run a campaign/movement
- How do you make change as a leader
- How to deal with Imposter syndrome
- How to handle diversity & equality / unconscious biased as a leader
- How to manage conflict as a leader
- How to manage your mental wellbeing as a leader
Workshops will need to be interactive. You will speak briefly about how you got to be a leader and you will pose discussions/activities related to your topic for pupils to discuss/do, whilst the webinar is paused. You can deliver slides to support your webinar and you can record the slides, plus yourself, in a Camtasia recording.
We can provide support with choosing relevant topics, creating activities/discussion points, creating PowerPoints, recording using Camtasia.
We are looking for volunteers to work with us on this project and share their own unique set of skills and experience, with the leaders of tomorrow.
If you are interested, please contact union.opportunities@uea.ac.uk with a topic that you would like to explore, and we can discuss the project further.
