Building Strong Leaders
Welcome to Lift Leadership, a program designed with a deep respect for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practices, rooted in historical leadership efforts, and guided by an Indigenous lens. Our initiative draws upon the rich frameworks developed within First Nations education in Queensland, recognizing the importance of honoring and preserving cultural heritage.
About Lift Leadership:
Lift Leadership is not just a program; it's a journey that acknowledges the wisdom of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practices. With a profound understanding of historical leadership efforts, we strive to cultivate the next generation of leaders by weaving an indigenous lens into every aspect of our approach.
Indigenous Lensing:
At the core of Lift Leadership is an indigenous lens that shapes our perspective on leadership. We believe in the power of this lens to offer a unique and culturally grounded insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by young people today. By embracing indigenous ways of knowing and doing, we aim to inspire leadership that is rooted in cultural integrity and respect.
Queensland's First Nations Education Frameworks:
Lift Leadership proudly incorporates the frameworks developed within First Nations education in Queensland. We recognize the importance of aligning our program with the principles and values that have been cultivated over generations. By doing so, we create a learning environment that not only respects but actively promotes the diverse knowledge and perspectives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Celebrating First Nations Leaders:
Lift Leadership is a celebration of the history of First Nations leaders. We draw inspiration from the strength, resilience, and wisdom of those who have paved the way before us. Through storytelling and reflection, we honor the achievements and contributions of First Nations leaders, instilling a sense of pride and purpose in our participants.
Creating Strong Future Leaders:
Our mission is to go beyond acknowledging history; it is to create a legacy of strong future leaders deeply connected to their roots. Lift Leadership provides a platform for young people to not only learn from the past but to actively shape a future that reflects the values of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
In essence, Lift Leadership is a bridge between the rich history of First Nations leaders, the wisdom embedded in Queensland's education frameworks, and the aspirations of a new generation. By embracing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander practices and fostering leadership through an indigenous lens, we aim to empower young minds to become the formidable leaders of tomorrow.
