Methodology
The programme relies on an online platform and weekly local or online actions to engage participants in the theory and practice of leadership, sustainability, and ethics. The curriculum incorporates multi-media methods, including articles, videos, written exercises, group activities, and discussion forums, and culminates in the development and implementation of a local workshop by each participant.rnrnAll participants from diverse regions of the world join together for five live video calls throughout the 10 weeks, and are able to enter the online platform and complete one session per week on their own time (requiring approximately 2-3 hours per week).rnrnParticipants lead their own way through the training and are invited to engage with one another through an online discussion forum. Participants also support each other in a peer review process while drafting and planning a workshop. Facilitators provide support and guidance during the programme.
