Our program includes guided learning by experienced instructors and inspiration from expert speakers. The experiential learning cycle in nature promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, with opportunities for peer learning and collaborative problem-solving.
We nurture both leadership competencies and personal growth, emphasizing a growth mindset, ethical leadership, and environmental stewardship.
Designed for young African professionals, our program ensures that the skills and insights gained are relevant and applicable in both local and global contexts.
Participants engage in a reflective process to apply lessons learned to their professional lives.
