One of the highlights of the Kellogg Rural Leadership Programme is the Wellington based, Phase Two. Scholars of the 48th Kellogg Programme (internally referred to as K48), will begin their Phase Two in September.
The week is delivered in a specific order designed to reveal the political and economic context carefully, each step building on the last.
Dr Scott Champion, will facilitate, expertly introducing Scholars to this part of the Programme. Phil Morrison facilitates on other Kellogg Programmes. Dr Champion deftly fills the spaces between influential speakers, encouraging discussion and imparting his own extensive knowledge, so that the whole experience is as seamless as it is inspiring.
So, what will Phase Two look like for the Scholars of the 48th Kellogg Rural Leadership programme?
Note, this gives an idea of how any Phase Two will flow. Details and speakers are subject to change.
