The Student Leaders
Network- synergy at work
The student leaders network is brand new. It's the Federation
's latest initiative in providing opportunities for Hong Kong's
future leaders. It was launched just last week on July 6th
with 1000 members and is expected to grow to 10,000 by 2010.
The aim is to create teaching and learning platforms on which
they can hone their leadership skills and talents, empowering
them to serve their schools or universities and strengthening
their commitment to the community.
|
The network is run under the
aegis of the Federation's Leadership 21 and has three foci: value
added training, giving back to society and exchange programmes.
Secondary and university students aged 15-30 who have undergone
basic leadership training and are or have been student leaders
may join. We are very excited about this new venture and expect
it to lead to greater youth participation in public advisory
and consultative bodies in the HKSAR. We think you will agree
that this is a vitally important part of the process of giving
our go-ahead younger generation the confidence to speak out as
representatives for their peers, locally, nationally and abroad.
With experience gained at this level they will be one step closer
to realizing their full potential.
