“This course was unique because it promoted an innovative paradigm of leadership that taught us to learn from evolution and nature and apply their lessons of success to the design of climate solutions, as well as the development of cohesive, collaborative, and mutualistic relations that foster sustainable development.

The course was delivered with passion and insight with a focus on bolstering not only our skills in leadership but our capacity to know by heart and act on climate change!”

"The program offers an enriching experience that goes beyond conventional learning. [...] Each module delves into the intricacies of systems change and the importance of self-care amidst complexity. Additionally, the program provides a vibrant networking platform, fostering meaningful connections and dialogue essential for collective action. From exploring the Cynefin Framework to harnessing the transformative potential of storytelling, participants are empowered to navigate challenges and inspire sustainable change across Canada."

"This program was a unique opportunity to connect with passionate youth across Canada to build a national youth climate community. It exceeded my expectations with its thoughtful and inspiring content, focus on community and well-being, and ability to foster deep dialogue with help from dedicated and compassionate facilitators. Thank you to The Starfish and ASI for leading the program! I highly recommend it to anyone in the youth climate space, whether you're experienced or just starting out."

“I appreciated the perspectives on leadership that this course provided. I have taken other leadership courses, but they have never succeeded in moving away from a hierarchical view of leadership.

The materials and resources in this course had my attention from week one as they provided clear language and approaches for collaborative leadership and recognized the difficulty of engaging in this approach within traditionally hierarchical systems. I look forward to drawing on the resources and learnings from this course in the future.”
