Short description

For this course, 10 lessons of 2 hours are scheduled. The timetable will be established together during the first lesson so that everyone who wishes can participate. This first lesson will take place on Monday, November 16 at 5:30 PM in Piet Menu’s office.

In the subject Student Participation and leadership, we consider two topics. On the one hand, we explore the concept of leadership and discover which of your personality traits fit well with your form of leadership. On the other hand, you learn to cooperate through self-reflection and conversation techniques. Also, leadership involves responsibility.
As a vital exercise for this school, we ask you to be committed. You will contribute to changing and improving the organisation of the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. You get to know the policy, you know what lives among students, you proactively question their wishes and needs and you represent their interests.
