Canadore College has paired up with the global innovative social enterprise, ME to WE, to offer its students and employees a dynamic leadership program says a news release from the college.
The leadership program will bring students together from different cultures and empower them to become better local and regional citizens.
Shawn Chorney, vice-president of enrolment management, Indigenous and student services says that the program will improve participants’ leadership skills in order for them to become active agents of change within the campus and broader community. Thirty student participants will apply ME to WE leadership principles to develop campus- and community-development action plans and create positive change.
Canadore College has been working closely with ME to WE to develop custom modules and case studies for the program that are reflective of Canada’s diverse cultures, traditions and knowledge, and will cover additional themes like anti-bullying, creating a caring a positive campus culture, active citizenship and more.
The leadership program entails eight days of intensive program delivery facilitated by ME to WE staff and translates into student action plans to be carried out on campus and in-community. The initial program will be offered to students at Canadore College in September 2017.
