LEAD-China Orientation
Session for Cohort-10 (9 -17 Nov., 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.
