Intergenerational leadership
Re-imagining community leadership programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people
Year granted: 2020
Organisation location: Michelton, QLD
Themes: Empowerment, Community health and wellbeing
Project summary: The project explores the idea of Indigenous-led intergenerational knowledge transfer for mentorship and/or coaching. Through facilitated supportive relationships, the idea is to improve intergenerational connections between senior community leaders and young people willing to learn and develop their leadership capacities. The project aims to identify organisations and individuals willing to develop a baseline analysis of community needs regarding Indigenous-led community leadership. The project will involve talking to and building connections between various community organisations and individuals willing to develop a conceptual model for the idea of intergenerational leadership. Discussions will focus on how community organisations could benefit from the concept while also thinking about developing appropriate teaching and learning spaces for young people within the community.
