Hi everyone,
We just created a Youtube Channel to post videos of 2012 African Leadership Program: http://www.youtube.com/user/AfricanLP?feature=mhee
Don't hesitate to take a look at it!
You will particularly learn a new way to fight cold in Canada! Thx Sylvester, Selase and Patrun!

African Leadership Program 2012 – Overview
Carefully selected for
their outstanding contribution to systematic change in their home countries,
several African Delegates from Burkina Faso, Ghana, Zambia, and Malawi will be
invited to a 4 week leadership experience in Canada. The African leaders will
have a chance to:
- Attend Systemic Innovations, an
international development conference taking place in Ottawa from January
11 – 14, 2012. It will host over 800 delegates from Canada, as well as the
African leaders and guest speakers, and explore system-changing
innovations and the conditions that will catalyze their development and
spread in Africa.
- Take part in a specifically
designed, week-long training seminar on Leadership and other topics of
their choice.
- Create links and build
relationships between organizations, individuals, the different levels of
Canadian government and governments in other countries. In previous years
a government to government partnership was formed between Loyalist
Township, in Ontario, and Kassena-Nankana, in Ghana.
- Participate in work placements
with a Canadian company or organization that is relevant to the work of
the African leaders. The placement sectors include everything from policy,
environmental consulting, not-for-profit organizations, water and
sanitation, agriculture and agribusiness and municipal governance and
infrastructure.
- Meet with members of the EWB
student and professional chapters across Canada, network and attend social
gatherings.
- Participate in home stays with
hosting Canadian families.
