Confident Leader” and “Walking With Wolves”, both of
which have received widespread praise from delegates.

“ It is
difficult to say with certainty what a world
truly based on gender equality would look like,
since we are still so far from achieving it.
Experience over the past decades has certainly
produced evidence that a more gender-equal world
would be a better world. The [UN] Secretary General
Kofi Annan once said that there was no development
tool more effective than the empowerment of women.” |

“An amazing
two days. I came away absolutely buzzing with
new ideas and a fresh view on how to tackle potential
obstacles. Gaining an ILM Level 5 award gave
even more credibility to what is an outstanding
development programme.”
"You
can achieve your goals.
You can be whatever you want to be.
Believe in yourself and, instead of asking “why”, ask “why
not?”
