>> exchange ideas and insights about the nature of leadership and how
>> the process of experiential learning can develop and strengthen
>> leadership for individuals, groups, companies, communities and
>> society on a local, national and international level. It will also
>> ask key questions about leadership for the future. There will be a
>> range of strands including:

>> * Leadership in Education * Community Leadership
>> * Leadership for Health *Leadership and the Environment
>> * Leadership and Mentoring * International leadership

>> celebration of Brathay’s 60th Anniversary and ICEL’s 10th
>> International Conference. These celebrations will provide a framework
>> from which the conference will look at the history of experiential
>> learning, viewed both from Brathay’s work over the past 60 years and
>> also from the perspective of international developments since ICEL’s
>> inaugural conference in 1987. A number of events will celebrate these
>> significant milestones.
