Columba 1400 works alongside young people and the key adults in their lives, in groups of up to 20 people over a period of around 6-9 months. We facilitate, elicit and catalyse a journey of individual and collective discovery.  We call these Values-based Leadership Academies. They can broadly be described in terms of the following phases:

 Phase One – Activation: unlocks awareness of self and others. It introduces values and how these underpin and shape who we are and what we do. The group begin to explore their own values.

Phase Two – Mobilisation: the immersive phase (residential or place-based element) which draws out their strengths and values, all the time encouraging them to think about how they want to live and be in the future.

Phase Three – Sustainable Change:  we support our participants back in their community as they continue their individual and collective journey to be the change they want to see, all underpinned by their confirmed personal values.
