What is the project ?
Leading Kid – Young Child Leadership is an elementary school leadership program for children in grades 4-6. The program will operate in a uniform line with the school student councils in Ashkelon, of which the 'City Leading Kid Council' will be composed. The councils (both school and municipal) will form a leadership base in the areas of occupation of children of these ages and will constitute preparation for the student and youth councils in the upper primary schools.
In this program, the children will undergo training, workshops, courses and empowerment processes that will contribute to them in the near and distant future. In addition, they will acquire teamwork tools and personal skills. The municipal team will form the basis for the creation of proactive and involved urban leadership in community life.
