International LEAD Training

International Training Sessions (ITS) have been a core feature of LEAD Fellows Training for more than 15 years. These events bring together our graduating Fellows from around the world to meet with inspiring and influential experts and leaders to learn about key sustainability topics.

Each LEAD programme has its own learning journey culminating in an international learning and networking event. Participants arrive from Anglophone West Africa, Brazil, Canada, China, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe, Francophone Africa , India, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, Southern and East Africa.

Traditionally LEAD Associates graduate at the end of the International Training Session (ITS) and become part of the global Fellows network.
