Melody To Lead Session 2
Students will reinforce and apply leadership qualities—confidence, cooperation, communication—by role-playing leadership scenarios, illustrating a leadership moment through art, leading a song echo activity, and upgrading their leadership badges to showcase personal growth.
Adding an art component where students illustrate their own leadership scenarios deepens understanding and allows for creative expression, reinforcing skills in a multi-sensory way.
