TODAY Francis Owusu’s community organisation Kulture Break, together with The National Australia Day Council and ACT Government hosted the first ever ‘iinspire’ Leadership Conference at the National Convention Centre.
The leadership program is designed to inspire leadership aspirations in young people and to add their voice to the change they want to see in their school, community and the world.
Primary school students were treated to presentations from four inspiring speakers – CEO and founder of Kulture Break, Owusu, ACT young Australian of the year Nip Wijewickrema, ACT young woman of the year, Rachael Stevens and education consultant, Shane Horsburgh.
The conference was aimed at developing students’ leadership skills and explore issues such as mental health, social inclusion, being an agent of change, team building and school fundraising. Watch this space for more such events.
