Afghans Learn Leadership for the 21st Century
AIL has implemented Leadership Workshops and two Emerging Leaders Groups that meet four to six times during the year. The Workshops last for seven days and cover a range of topics including: increasing the participation of women in different areas of social life and decision making, promoting equal rights of men and women, and promoting cooperation between people of society and an understanding of differing opinions.
Some questions that the participants are asked to explore include: Who can be a leader? What is the leadership role in my life? What is my vision? How do I maintain relationships? How can we serve diverse interests? How do we empower each other? How do we reach a common goal with different concepts? How do we share responsibility?
One participant said, “Since I came to this workshop, I have learned to be kind with others and respect their rights. Before this workshop, I couldn’t tolerate the ideas of my classmates, but now I have learned how to respect other people’s ideas, even if I do not agree with them.
Another participant praised AIL for its good work and said that AIL makes a positive impact by helping women increase their knowledge and capacity.
