The course is designed to strengthen the capability and expertise participants already possess as rebuilders, providing them with the resources and practical tools needed to potentially design and facilitate workshops within their diaspora communities and countries of origin.
Ethical and values-based principles underpin the course. It provides space for people of different backgrounds to build trust across the divides of ethnicity, class and religion and develop values-based leadership.
Through the training programme, participants will identify factors that affect livelihoods, and learn to design and implement solutions to contribute to the rebuilding of their countries of origin.
The course covers three interconnected modules which are fundamental to nation-building:
- Dialogue for Social Cohesion – helping people learn how to listen to understand, ask meaningful questions and engage in meaningful and constructive dialogue to move forwards.
- Ethical Leadership for Just Governance – defining their inner leadership styles and values in order to be a role model for their community as well as creating healthy business and administration environments
- Sustainable Livelihood for Resilience – opening minds to potential routes to economic and environmental sustainability
These modules are offered at three levels:
- Foundation: Introducing Skills
- Intermediate: Developing Skills
- Advanced: Applying Skills
The course is interactive and progressive, ultimately creating a dynamic Community of Practice which serves to sustain, support and motivate existing graduates, as well as to inform and encourage future applicants.
