Objectives

EAGLE the Adventurers is a one-year holistic leadership enhancement scheme to train students through a series of workshops, camps and local engagement focusing on social innovation and co-creation.

Lastly, students shall present their learning journey to a wider community for greater inspirations.

Suitable for those who aspire to gain a global perspective on social challenges, acquire innovative skills to tackle pressing social issues, and to develop a sense of social responsibility and empathy.

Learn more about the leadership advancement of the students and their achievements in Nepal in the 2023/24 cohort.

The EAGLE journey enhanced my sense of purpose, improved my self-regulated learning, and shaped my cognitive and dispositional outlook.

As I came to understand through this journey, leadership is more than just leading a group. Leadership can manifest in various forms.
