SPARK-Merritt

Dec 19, 2017— Merritt, BC: SPARK: IndigenEYEZ Leadership Essentials is coming to Merritt in January!

The popular IndigenEYEZ program SPARK: Leadership Essentials is designed to strengthen our relationships to self, to others, to nature, and to each culture.

SPARK unfolds in five learning modules.

During the SPARK workshop we will explore:

– How to design and deliver effective lessons, workshops, and meetings
– Ways to make a safe space for honest and creative exploration
– How to learn and lead fun, arts-based activities
– How to build relationships across ages, professions, and sectors
– Ways to enliven learning, deepen reflection, and develop social and emotional skills
– Tools for responding to challenging participants
– Ways to share your truth and address the “pink elephants” in your organization
