The idea of the project is that every person is inherently a leader, and that to develop leadership qualities one must exercise their ability to listen to themselves and others, empathise with others, understand people’s needs and their development paths, and connect to their deepest calling. Leadership implies a lot more than management and organisational skills, it also means dealing with people, with complex problems and challenging situations. Participants who will have absolved one of our trainings will have gone beyond the surface of the leadership tasks and experienced themselves and their peers in a deeper way through practival exercises. The project consists of two trainings with 24 and 20 participants. Target group of our project are people that are active in a civil society organisation or initiative in one of our partner countries: Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Belarus, Romania and Moldova. We want to have a good mixture of new and experienced people with different stages of develpment, thus enabling a fruitful exchange between them. Younger participants can always profit from the knowledge of the older ones, however the older participants can get inspired by the energy, motivation and new ideas of younger activists.
