Youth Leadership

Our three-week Youth Leadership summer programme is designed to help students build confidence, develop leadership skills, and learn about the impact they can make on the world. The programme is built on the belief that good leadership is about helping others and that real change happens when we work together and lead by example.

Lessons involve engaging activities, including group discussions, team challenges, practical workshops, and personal reflection exercises, all designed to help students learn in real-life situations.

Each day of the programme focuses on helping students build their leadership abilities step by step. Key concepts like leadership, emotional intelligence, and leadership styles are introduced first, and as the weeks progress we will add in teamwork, communication, public speaking, and how to overcome self-limiting beliefs.

The programme as a whole encourages students to recognise the power of small actions to make a big difference, and understand how simple acts of support can have a lasting impact on others.

By the end of the programme, students will have developed key skills such as teamwork, communication, goal setting, emotional intelligence, and public speaking. They will also leave with greater self-confidence, a better understanding of leadership, and the tools to make a positive difference in the world.

Before arrival, any students with English as a second language will be asked to complete a British Council English Language Test. We do this to make sure that everyone is in a suitable class and will get the most out of their time at ISSOS.
