Description

In this course, students will take action to address an issue of concern they investigated in the previous course YACL301. The developed proposal for change is enacted in this course, displaying leadership through change for youth and/or communities, such as whanau, hapu, iwi. Students are encouraged to work in small interest groups, within and beyond the class group, on a local, national or international issue, document their progress and experiences, and report on the actions taken and the effect their actions had. Emphasis is placed on respectful and considerate engagement and practice with affected communities in a culturally responsive manner through recognition of the Treaty of Waitangi principles.

The Leadership Project: Implementing Change is the culmination of the Bachelor of Youth and Community Leadership. In this second of two capstone courses, you will apply what you have learned over the duration of the degree to take action. The project proposal you have developed in YACL301 is implemented in this course and will demonstrate your leadership through change approach for youth and/or communities. You will work on a local, national or international issue, reflect on and document your progress and experiences, and publicly report on your actions and impact. Following the ethical values underpinning community work, you will present your project, as part of a shared forum, to the wider community including our BYCL whānau and other interested groups. Throughout the degree and in this course, emphasis is placed on a respectful and considerate engagement with community partners in a culturally responsive manner through recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
