Adventure Tourism Leadership

For Asher, the real highlights of the Adventure programme have been pushing his physical skills to new limits as well as further enhancing his personal and social skills working alongside other young people on the course. “We start off in groups with people we don’t know, but the programme is structured so that we get to know each other really well and we learn to trust one another and collaborate. I’ve developed my group communication and leadership skills which I’ll be able to use in the future.”

Donje heard about the programme through her school Careers Advisor. “It sounded like such a good opportunity that I thought I’d give it a go. I come from a small school and this has helped me to meet new people, learn some really cool things and develop my leadership skills.” Donje has enjoyed all the activities so far – mountain biking, sea-kayaking and rock climbing. “They’re challenging and fun. For me, it’s all about the experience. The credits are useful but they’re not the priority. I’m interested in developing my confidence and leadership skills more.”
