Request 📢 Dear Indigenous brothers, sisters, and allies, Indigenous Peoples Leadership: How are we preparing our new Indigenous Leaders for the challenges (biodiversity loss, climate change, land dispossession, cultural assimilation, cultural appropriation, ecological crisis, etc.) they face or will face in the future? As part of my current efforts, I am conducting a comprehensive overview of existing leadership programs, both formal and informal, that offer opportunities for Indigenous youth at the local, regional, and global levels. If you have participated in a leadership program yourself or are aware of any such programs that focus on collective tenure, land governance, stewardship, and related areas, I kindly request you to share your knowledge and experiences. Your input will contribute to the compilation of a comprehensive list of available leadership opportunities for our Indigenous youth. Furthermore, it would be invaluable if you could highlight the specific types of leadership opportunities that our Indigenous youth leaders are involved in and identify any specific needs they may have. By doing so, we can better understand how to support and nurture the next generation of Indigenous youth leaders. You have various options to contribute to this initiative. You can leave a comment below, sharing your insights and recommendations. Alternatively, you can send me a direct message or email me at brijlal478@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your time and contributions. Together, we can empower our Indigenous youth and foster their development as future leaders. #indigenousleadership #indigenousyouth #indigenousfuture #indigenouseducation
