Module 1
The first module throws the group together for an intense week of thinking, media skills, team building and prayer on the beautiful Stonyhurst estate in the Ribble Valley. Group work is the order of the day, whether on task to prepare a student union speech or some off-the-wall activity designed to test your teamwork! Broaden your mind with philosophical deep dives, exercise your soul with regular prayer, finesse your public persona with media training, enjoy a local pub, a film night and more!
When: Monday 22nd - Saturday 27th July 2024
Module 2
This is the ethics module, first and foremost! Consider the environment, human ecology and ethical issues, and some political philosophy. Four days of high-powered thinking with some great teachers!
When: Friday 25th - Monday 28th October 2024
Module 3
The last module is focused on practical leadership. Consider virtuous and political leadership, consider your own potential ability to change culture, your personality and your spirituality. Dive into a short retreat to encounter the only leader that matters, Jesus Christ. The module closes with a tour of Parliament and presentation of certificates in Westminster Hall by a Catholic political figure.
When: Saturday 15th - Tuesday 18th February 2025
