From 2-5th June 2004
The Tibetan Women’s Association (TWA) is organizing a Four-Day Leadership Training for Tibetan women in exile in the TWO Community Center, Mcleod Ganj, Dharamsala. The objective of this training is to empower Tibetan women in exile.
Initially, our target population was women with leadership potentials from the departments of Central Tibetan Administration (CTA), Non-Government Organizations (NGO) and Institutions. However, due to some technical problems, the CTA staff members could not avail this opportunity. Therefore, now the training participants are lady staff members of Institutions, NGOs and some college students and fresh college graduates.
The topics to be covered during this training are different styles of leadership, practicing working as a team, and power sharing and confidence building.
Resource Persons are Ouyporn Khuankaew, Chiang Mai, Thailand and her colleague Ginger Norwood from USA. Ms. Ouyporn is currently the director of the International Women’s Partnership for Peace and Justice. She has been working with different grassroots communities in South and South East Asia since 1995. She teaches training courses on women’s leadership, violence against women, gender and diversity, feminist counseling, non-violence, peace building and training for social change. She integrates feminist principles, Buddhism and non-violence in her content and teaching methodology. Her target groups include religious leaders, youth leaders, student activists, government and non-governmental workers, political activists, and gay and lesbians
