Orientation Session For Cohort 10
November 9-17, 2002 Beijing
|
1. Session
Objectives
This is LEAD-China orientation session for cohort-10 that will be held from
9-17 Nov. this year at Beijing Dangdai Service Center. As the associates
come from different regions and sectors with diverse culture and
background, this session is designed to bring the associates onto the
common communication ground so as to make best use of LEAD as a learning
opportunity. The resource persons of this session include LEAD-China core
faculty members and training officers and experts in various fields related
to sustainable development.
The experts invited to speak at LEAD session all have innovative views of
the sustainable development. Their views may not agree with each other and
possibly disagree with the views of the Associates. But they serve as a
catalysts to stimulate our thinking and our critics, as LEAD believes that
we can improve ourselves through understanding and analyzing differences.
The session aims to enable Associates:
-
To understand LEAD as an open, transparent learning platform where they
communicate differences, explore the challenges and search solutions toward
a society with greater sustainability so that they can decide whether they
will commit their time and energy to this program.
-
To begin building the new vision of sustainable development by exposing
themselves to different views and ideas of the sustainable development.
-
To begin developing the leadership skills through exercises, simulation and
learning from colleagues.
