Education story christoph teschers

Senior Lecturer
Programme Coordinator, Bachelor of Youth and Community Leadership

Young people themselves provided the inspiration for the new BYCL degree 鈥 initally through the Student Volunteer Army (SVA) activities and then through our CHCH 101 course. Personal development takes place through service learning and community engagement. In the corporate environment, leaders are often seen as being at the helm 鈥 people appointed to a position, whereas in the BYCL we are focusing on what it means to lead within a community, which often means to lead from behind, to lead from within, and to draw people along instead of making sure they follow.
