View all badgesThis badge is awarded to people who have:
- worked through Thing 19: What is Citizen Leadership and how can I promote it?
- provided evidence of their learning through reflective writing.
This is part of the 23 Things ELC Leadership programme.
To earn this badge you must:
- work through Thing 19 of 23 Things ELC Leadership
- think about the people using your service and, in at least 200 words, reflect on the following questions to show how you have promoted citizen leadership:
- What are some of the labels people using your service might have experienced?
- How might these labels have limited their opportunities or participation?
- How have you helped someone using your service to develop and use their leadership skills and talents?
- How have people using services been involved as citizen leaders within your organisation — for example, in helping to shape services?
We will decline Open Badge applications without a completed reflective activity.
