Why we are investing in the next generation of leaders: Reflections from Sr Consolata Aloo

In this video, Sr Consolata Aloo emphasizes that the Next Generation Leadership Programme (NGLP) is designed to develop well-rounded leaders who not only excel academically but are also rooted in values such as service, reflection, and collaboration. The program shapes leaders who are responsive to the needs of their communities and institutions, ensuring their growth aligns with the broader mission of service. A core philosophy of the NGLP, as shared by Sr Consolata, is that leadership goes hand in hand with service. Through activities like volunteering in prisons or orphanages and participation in university and community groups, scholars learn to give back and lead by example. This hands-on approach fosters empathy, ethical responsibility, and a spirit of selfless service—qualities that are essential for genuine and sustainable leadership.
