Study online & practise your skills in a tangible project
Transformative Leadership in Action
Learn how to do good in an ethnically responsible way, by practicing how to co-create solutions together with affected communities
Get out of your comfort zone, strengthen your skills and contribute to social impact
We see increasing social disruption around the world. Millions of people are in need of more and better support, but they are still too often not involved in the design of this support!. We all share an ethical responsibility to care for each other, the next generations, and the planet – as individuals, non-profits, businesses and governments. However, even though we are growing more interconnected every day, humanitarian organisations and private businesses are not collaborating sufficiently to resolve social issues around the world. This leads to missed opportunities, and a lot of wasted resources.
Transformative Leadership in Action offers solutions by promoting global citizenship, creating real social impact and fostering social cohesion and collaboration. The programme brings together a, team of diverse participants who each want to learn and practice how to do good in an ethically responsible way. By asking this group of people from different backgrounds and sectors to share approaches, experiences and ideas, they learn and grow as social impact creators. With this new knowledge and transformational experience, they are then ready to create positive social impact, big or small, within their own community.
