Harambee 5 participants The next Harambee Leadership Training Programme course will take place in Nigeria in October 2011 - a one week training programme commencing 29 October (reduced from two weeks) and a two week fieldwork programme between 7 and 20 November. The programme starts on 29 October with a public meeting in Lagos. The one-week intensive and interactive training that follows this will include the following:

Foundations of Living - a facilitated dialogue and reflection on the moral and spiritual basis for living and acting with integrity and unselfishness
A morning session, which will be interactive workshops, on aspects of leadership and leading skills
An afternoon session on case studies of leadership where techniques are discussed and solutions debated
An evening session where each participant will share his or her stories and listen to the stories of others

The two weeks fieldwork period starts on 7 November and ends 20 November.

For the fieldwork, we are privileged to be working in partnership with Pastor James Wuye and Imam Mohammad Ashafa, Co-directors of the Muslim-Christian Interfaith Mediation Centre, Kaduna. Both are internationally renowned reconcilers whose work has been honoured in the media in many countries.

As a result, there will be a particular emphasis on working in situations and communities where reconciliation and bridge-building is needed. The Harambee participants will interact with university students, civic and religious groups, business people and regional and local government representatives. The fieldwork will also include visits to the cities of Jos and Kanu and to the capital, Abuja.

The full cost of the 3 week programme will be US$37 817, or about US$3 000 per person. This includes all board and lodging, training materials and transport within Nigeria. It does not include travel to and from Lagos. The subsidised cost to each participant is US$500. In other words, each participant is expected to get him- or her-self to Lagos and to pay a minimum of $500 to take part in the three-week training.

For some this might mean seeking sources of assistance from within their own countries or IofC teams.
