Leadership Training for Female Multipliers in the Circular Economy

 

A huge shout out to PREVENT Waste Alliance and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH for offering this life-changing Leadership Program for female leaders in Circular Economy. I enjoyed spending time (in person in Europe) with other women from 3rd world countries to learn about their leadership challenges and experiences in implementing Circular Economy initiatives. 

During our 1 week stay in Bonn, we used our time after class to document best practice recycling and upcycling examples in Germany that are linked to the EU Green Deal that shows potential to be implemented in our own countries. I loved the enthusiasm and hunger to learn and grow not only in ourselves but also in our local communities! Looking forward to a fellow country study tour to Columbia, Georgia, Albanie, Kosovo, and South Africa. #circulareconomy #circularity #FFBS #futurefemales #femaleleadership

16 female changemakers from Colombia, Albania, Kosovo, Georgia and South Africa met in Bonn (Germany) to grow together on their leadership journey.
🌱Leading self (e.g. reflecting on leadership styles, core values, authenticity)
🌱Leading teams (e.g. team development, active listening, methods of peer consultation)
🌱Leadership in organisations (e.g. aspects of organisational culture)
🌱Leading social change (e.g. circle of influence, change management)
The PREVENT Waste Alliance Leadership Training focusses on four dimensions of leadership:
