The Asia Education Foundation, in partnership with the Department of Education International, is delivering the Queensland Future School Leaders program to students in Year 5 across Queensland and the Asia-Pacific.

The Queensland Future School Leaders Program aims to encourage students who demonstrate exceptional leadership skills and have the ambition to be future leaders to collaborate online with similarly aged students from across the Asia-Pacific to address and answer school-based problems. 

Learning Outcomes:

• Enhance personal leadership skills (critical and creative thinking, collaboration, and empathy). 

• Encourage effective communication skills (active participation, intercultural understanding, seeking diverse perspectives, and presenting ideas). 

• Strengthen global citizenship and international relationships.  

• Utilise design thinking tools to understand and develop solutions to school-based challenges.
