Pathways to leadership

The seminar provided participants with the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, acquire a better awareness of their leadership roles within their association, and also identify their own leadership path using the methodology of the WLDP with its specific gender, inter-generational and inter-cultural perspectives.

I have learned new ways of training and it has been very helpful for me. I will try to use this knowledge back in my country with some adaptation. The techniques and the programme were very good.

After the seminar the participants will continue to develop their own pathways to leadership with the support of the planning team.

The Europe Region WAGGGS is grateful to the Guide and Scout associations in Denmark for support from their project ‘Supporting Guiding and Scouting in Eastern and Central Europe’, which ensured that young women from Eastern and Central Europe could also participate in this event.

Maija Grosa from the Latvia Guide and Scout Association says: “I have learned leadership skills and very useful and practical methods. For example, on delegation to others and prioritization of tasks. There are not many people at the national organizations and they can be easily overloaded with work. If they delegate, the results can be more efficient.”

Florence Enemuo, from Nigeria Girl Guide Association describes her experience at the seminar: “It helped me to discover who I am, my potential, and also skills I didn’t know I have. The potential that is not used, is dead.

She adds: “The session on changing the world made me realize that the potential to do it is on our hands. I am the change.”
