Leadership is an essential skill in life. At the end of a Kanu Kapers Australia Leadership experience students will have developed more confidence in themselves as leaders. Through workshop sessions and leadership opportunities students will further develop their natural abilities and those extra skills that are essential to be an inspiring community leader. Our programs nurture existing strengths and encourage new skill acquisition through experiential learning opportunities and workshop discussion. Goals will be set and action plans developed to ensure students continue to practice and further develop their skills back at school and home.

As we are personal development and emotional intelligence experts development of these skills is an integral part of our Leadership Programs. Students will increase awareness of their own emotions and behaviours and the impact of these on others. This will improve participant’s self belief, self confidence and result in a more positive and realistic self image.

Students will work in teams to complete a range of tasks and problem solving activities. They will further develop their skills in negotiation, problem solving and other skills that contribute to productive team relationships. Students will be encouraged to identify opportunities to practice and continue to develop their team skills after the camp.

Communication skills are essential for success and fulfilment. Students will learn active listening, conflict resolution and giving and receiving feedback skills, and have numerous opportunities to apply them. They will also learn how and why to be empathic in their interactions with others. These skills will allow them to have ongoing relationships that are harmonious and productive.

Students will learn why trust is important and how to develop trust in relations with others.

In today’s world young people can be overwhelmed, and although they genuinely want to help others, the environment or wildlife for example, they are not sure how to do this. Our programs will give your students insight into their ‘sphere of influence’ and support them to become empowered to offer service and contribution to their community. This will result in a greater sense of responsibility to others and the environment, a connection to broader society and a more self motivating attitude.

Our programs are designed in such a way that students can master skills rather than having a taste of a smorgasbord of activities. Students will be empowered to pursue their interests and gain mastery in activities
