ABOUT TRAIL
The ARLF program design is underpinned by developing six key leadership practices. All activities align with the progression of these practices.
Participants have many opportunities to apply frameworks, models and techniques to focus on these six practices and with the intention that participants will apply these practices beyond our program. The ARLF focusses on experiential learning; offering participants with challenge-based activities, and experiences with time for reflection.
Participants will:
-
explore adaptive strategies to address complex issues and situations;
-
increase awareness of the ARLF's six leadership practices;
-
develop an understanding of how behaviour impacts on relationships with others; and
-
build peer networks for future collaboration and support
