What is SLC?
The ACSI Europe team has been running the Student Leadership Conference (SLC) in Hungary for 26 years. It is this tried and proven program that we are planning to replicate in the UK in 2025.
SLC is a dynamic, short, and intensive leadership program designed to empower students in their faith and leadership journey. The conference offers a unique blend of cultural diversity, spiritual unity, and practical leadership training. See this short video produced by students from a UK school who participated in SLC in 2023.
Why Join SLC?
Unified in Diversity: Collaborate with students from various cultural and denominational backgrounds, unified by a shared love for Jesus Christ.
Focused on Learning: Interactive workshops, discussion groups, and general sessions grounded in Scripture foster growth in leadership skills and character.
Bigger Than Your School: Gain insights into God’s work through Christian education across the UK, fostering connections and community impact.
More Than an Event: SLC is a journey that starts with preparation and continues as students implement their leadership action plans post-event.
Program Highlights
General Sessions: Engaging talks centred on Scriptural insights and leadership application. Impactful, vibrant worship that comes from young people being sold out for God.
Discussion Groups: Collaborative sessions with peers from different schools, fostering understanding and innovation.
Workshops: Practical sessions addressing real-world leadership challenges.
Debriefing Time: Dedicated school time for reflection, prayer, and action plan development.
Action Plan Creation: An action plan is a structured framework empowering students to apply the leadership skills, knowledge, and character growth gained at SLC to real-world challenges. By addressing specific needs in their schools or communities, students develop a vision, set actionable goals, and collaborate effectively, embodying servant leadership and leaving a legacy of meaningful change. See this short video about the action plan developed by a UK school in 2023.
A few practical details
Location: We are still working on this. Our intention is to find a venue that is central and accessible and meets the needs of the program.
Costs: We recognise that this is a very significant consideration. Until a venue is chosen it is difficult for us to work on a budget. Be assured that we are working to keep the event as affordable as possible.
Student Profile: The program will best suit 14–16-year-old students who are growing in their spiritual maturity and desire to be a servant leader.
In order for us to plan this event well with the needs of Christian Schools’ Trust schools in the UK in mind, we would appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete this short survey to indicate your interest, thoughts and any questions. We will keep you informed as plans are made based on this information.
We look forward to welcoming your school to the ACSI SLC 2025 and partnering with you to develop the next generation of Christian leaders!
