Free leadership programme announced for young Brummies
Young people aged 18 to 25 are invited to create a lasting legacy by joining a free leadership programme.
The two-day leadership programme taking place on October 15 and 16 will challenge participants to think through what they want their generation’s legacy to be.
The programme is delivered by Common Purpose, a not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 that develops leaders who can cross boundaries.
It is part of the Birmingham Legacy campaign, run by Common Purpose and sponsored by Aston University, HMPPS, Trowers & Hamlins and Unity Trust Bank.
Louise Teboul (pictured), UK Partnerships director at Common Purpose said: “We need to create space to support and hear from Birmingham’s young people about their big ideas and long-term thinking - but also to make that an inter-generational dialogue – which is what this programme will do.
“It’s designed to empower young people and give them the skills, confidence, voice, and agency to be strong leaders of the future, as well as an opportunity to connect, learn and work with leaders in the city, and their peers on the programme.
“Together they will build social capital to continue to make a positive impact across Birmingham for years to come.
“This programme is an opportunity for young people to join a vibrant, growing community of change-makers, discover their purpose, craft their identity, and level up their leadership skills.
“The programme is open for applications now and we want to ensure we have a diverse peer group, that reflects the city’s population and all parts of the city – so we’re asking for help and support in sharing details of this great opportunity.
“Anyone can find out more, or apply, by visiting Birmingham Legacy or get in touch with me.”
