Emerging Leaders Forum (Junior Secondary) Years 7 - 8


About this event

The Emerging Leaders Forum (Junior Secondary) is designed for Victorian students in Years 7 and 8, offering chances for them to connect and collaborate with peers from around the world. Students will deepen their understanding of identity, belonging and intercultural understanding and what it means to be a globally competent leader.

The aim of the Emerging Leaders Forums is to provide earlier level curriculum entry points for Victorian schools, enabling them to embed global learning and engagement activities into their teaching, learning and student engagement initiatives. It also provides a learning pathway for engagement in the Global Youth Forum offered at Year 9 level.

Students will undertake a collaborative learning task with local and international peers that is anchored in the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, with the intention of implementing social change in their school communities.



Learning Outcomes:

  • Develop a deep understanding of global citizenship and its responsibilities
  • Enhance awareness of assumptions and stereotypes while fostering intercultural understanding 
  • Engage actively with diverse global perspectives, experiences, and cultures

  • Utilise knowledge and skills to take meaningful action in addressing global and local challenges.
