Program for Active Citizenship - Fostering Community Leadership
About
STEM Incubators Inc. is thrilled to announce the launch of our new program, the 'Future Community Leaders' initiative, in collaboration with the Victorian Election Commission and the Global Organisation of Divinity.
In addressing the major challenges within our communities, whether education or innovation, we recognise that compelling Involvement right from a young age is paramount. The 'Future Community Leaders program’ empowers young minds to comprehend the democratic process, enabling them to choose candidates wisely, drive meaningful debates, and influence policymaking. The program's first phase will be Active Citizenship coaching with a focus on cultivating political literacy and fostering an understanding of active citizenship among young Australians.
At STEM Incubators, we believe that the seeds of positive change are sown through political awareness and civic engagement. Here's to nurturing the leaders of tomorrow who will shape a brighter future for Australia.
