The New Perspectives project, generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, was a two-year project to engage more young people with the National Parks movement.
As part of the New Perspectives project we’re pleased to introduce the Future Leaders Course. This was for young people aged 20-30 (inclusive), who wanted to make a difference – for National Parks, landscapes, nature and people. The course had been developed with young people and focuses on supporting you to advance as a next generation leader and change-maker.
Our experiential course included practical skills, such as storytelling and communications; theoretical skills such as leadership styles and team working; a focus on equity and social justice for all and a reflective course of activities to inspire future leaders. The course provided the opportunity to hone these skills and put them to practice influencing National Park decision makers.
