Projects
Background
Participants in the Emerging Community Leaders program design, develop and implement a community project as part of their commitment to the Tasmanian community and to put into practice the learnings from the program.
Working in teams of two to six people that they self-determine through discussion and areas of interest participants are responsible for all aspects of the projects development and implementation. The focus is on building leadership skills and understanding of self and others whilst achieving outcomes for the Tasmanian community.
