Stepping Into Leadership (SIL) is a creative and practical leadership development programme for teenagers aged 15 to 17. This age group are usually involved as dependent participants in organisations (both formal and non-formal) where many key decisions about their involvement are made by older people in their environments. SIL aims to start them on the journey of exploring what leadership means, what skills and attributes are useful to have, and how young leaders can create, plan, implement and evaluate projects on their own. The project is a partnership between FOCO (Spain) and Crooked House (Ireland). We will use creative methods in workshops to explore theoretical and practical aspects of leadership. We will also build into the programme 2 mobilities and 4 events that the group of young people will plan and implement with the help of the organisations. They will collate the training techniques used into an online resource for youth workers and educators to use with their own group
