Leadership at Tafaria is understood as the ability to positively influence people and communities through knowledge, creativity, integrity and service.
Leadership at Tafaria is treated as something people practise through choices, service, teamwork and reflection, not only something they discuss.
Experiential learning is important because it gives learners something concrete to reflect on. A farm task, art workshop, archery lesson or group challenge can produce a more memorable conversation than an abstract lecture.
For teachers, the visit does not need to end when the group leaves Tafaria. Photos, sketches, questions and observations from the day can become prompts for follow-up work back at school.
It encourages people to imagine a better future, create practical solutions and use them to benefit others.
