PRINCIPLES
Core Principles
Education
Education is at the core of Changing Expectations. Understanding the importance of our history and achievements is key to developing leadership. Educating young leaders involves a holistic approach that combines practical experiences, mentorship, and educational resources.
Equipping
By incorporating lessons from history, students gain insights into diverse leadership styles and the impact of past leaders, fostering a deeper understanding of effective strategies and principles. Simultaneously, guiding students to set personal goals helps them identify their strengths, values, and aspirations, fostering a sense of purpose.
Empowerment
Providing opportunities for students to take on leadership roles, whether in school clubs, community projects, or collaborative activities, allows them to develop practical skills and build self-assurance. Encouraging them to embrace challenges as learning opportunities and recognizing their achievements contributes to a positive leadership mindset.
