This is a four day version of our International Summer School's two week LIRA programme, for 9-16 year olds, which will enable young people to learn, explore and practice the foundations of how to lead themselves and others through personal coaching and experiential learning. It is designed to continuously stretch the pupils in an encouraging and supportive environment. The pupils will take part in a combination of individual working group tasks/challenges, practical workshops and outdoor activities with designated coaches who will support them with continuous feedback and assistance.

Nick spent more than 20 years in Asia building high performance, multi-cultural teams in the corporate sector. Now he's lucky enough to keep learning from young people as he helps them get better at the stuff they care about. Nick loves rugby and mountains, and if pushed he could land a plane in a jungle.
The programme will focus on four main themes:-
LEADING - Pupils explore the big questions of leadership; What is leadership? What are the different styles and skills of leadership? How does leadership relate to me?
CARING - Great leaders need to get the best out of themselves and others. Pupils will work on developing self-awareness, confidence, empathy, resilience and adaptability.
CONNECTING - Learning how to communicate powerfully and negotiate with stakeholders, pupils will understand how building and sustaining relationships with others helps us to navigate life’s challenges.
