Leadership training with youth leaders

In July 2007 I was invited to do a one week Train-The-Trainer program with 30 young leaders from around South Afrika. They all work for the organization HOPE Worldwide, which focuses on awareness work around HIV/AIDS and life skills in high schools. I had packaged a version of my program, "Ukuzimisela" (= self determination) specifically for their needs. They were all well experienced facilitators, organizers and project workers and wanted more input on leadership.

We spent five days doing intense, interactive and process driven learning, creative methodology, theoretical input and developmental work from 8am in the morning to 11pm at night! The group was very enthusiastic and willing to work hard. After this week they all went back to their respective communities to teach the content to other youth leaders. An uplifting and hectic week!
