Dear Students,
The 4th Student Leader Global Summit will be held at the University of Stellenbosch from June 24-26. It provides a global platform for improving multi and intercultural communication and understanding between students. The goal of the summits is to bring student leaders from different parts of the world together to discuss student governance, leadership, social justice or other topics of shared interest. The outcomes of the conference are the following:
Many universities around the world engage, support and educate their student communities around mental health and wellbeing. Student leaders recognise that they can contribute meaningfully towards a considered and coordinated response, addressing mental health concerns within a wider ecosystem of support. The summit will play a role in helping participating student leaders develop this considered and coordinated response that is likely to lead to more sustainable and impactful solutions.
Student leadership involvement that highlights, models and supports individual agency and responsibility contributes to a culture of self-care, appropriately targeted peer support and linking to institutional or public resources. During the programme, participants will focus on the what, why and how to cultivate behaviors, develop skills and campaigns that enhance and support mental wellbeing.
- Explore their concept and understanding of leadership
- Gain insight into mental wellness and the role that student leaders play within an ecosystem of support
- Identify resources and strategies that support mental wellbeing
- Engage collaboratively across difference
- Develop a micro-campaign suited to their context
