Programme
The LEAD Europe Leadership for Sustainable Development Programme 2009 begins in June and includes 17 face-to-face training days organised into three residential modules over nine months, supported by online events, preparation and project work.
It will inspire you with the latest thinking, sharpen your skills and put you in contact with a group of high-level peers from across Europe and internationally.
While gaining practical experience you will analyse contemporary sustainability challenges and search for joint solutions. You will work with colleagues from different countries and professional backgrounds, each bringing their own diverse perspectives. You will also interact with some outstanding leaders and hear their own stories of challenge and opportunity working in this field.
Course participants (known as LEAD Associates) remain in full employment during their training. At the end of the course, LEAD Europe Associates graduate from the training programme and become LEAD Europe Fellows for life.
Modules
The unifying theme of all three modules is 'Leadership and Climate Change'. Associates must attend all three modules and complete a LEAD Associate Project in order to join the LEAD Network.
