leaning expedition for leaders

Courage is a learning expedition for present and future school leaders. The expedition is meant for school leaders, who want to experience the power of experiential learning, question their own assumptions about learning and education, see things in a systemic way and in the process, discover their own true aspirations. The idea is to empower school leaders to re-invent schools by re-defining learning systems and structure.

The vision is to inspire school leaders to re-define learning systems and develop their ability to re-invent schools in a systemic and integrated way.


learning outcomes of the expedition are to enable participants in:

1. Understanding how do children learn and construct understanding.

2. Understanding the theory of experiential learning.

3. Understand education from a bigger perspective and the role of school in the
    society.

4. Understand the personal learning and leadership style.

5. Understanding how to build a culture of learning and excellence in the school.

6. Understanding how to initiate, manage and sustain change in schools.
