Hanifa's Story: Learning for Leadership

My name is Hanifa and I took part in the Learning for Leadership programme in 2007 at Generate in South London.

There were about 8 workshops and about 8 people in the group.

Things I learnt about:

• Inclusion
• Relationship mapping
• Thinking about my future, how I want it to be
• Learning about myself, who I am

I did a shadowing project for the Learning for Leadership programme. I spent a day with the learning disability lead for the local council. We did some workshops at a primary school in Tooting in South London.

I thought the person I shadowed was a pretty good leader – she listened to the children, spoke clearly and was very organised. Since being on the course I have made presentations to lots of groups about my work and about the learning for Leadership course.
