Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao High School Secondary Section Ganesh Nagar Pune ME to WE : Igniting the Spirit of Leadership 27th to 29th August 2021 SLCv 2021

Warm greetings from Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao High School! We are delighted to host the student delegates to the Fourth Student Leadership Conference(SLC virtual) on the theme of ME to WE: Igniting the Spirit of Leadership. We believe the experience a student gains from a leadership role in school is highly valuable. This responsibility immerses the students in an environment that offers a vision to think big and provides opportunities to voice opinions from a position of influence. It is important to cultivate and simultaneously nurture a vision of effective leadership among children. Our Student Leadership Conference is a three day virtual conference in which students will come together to develop leadership skills, network with fellow student leaders, share and engage in experiences that will challenge them to develop as a leader.
