Together we can change the world
THE GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT BACKGROUND
UCCD Burundi partners with Global Leadership Network (GLN). GLN is an organization the mission of which is “To inspire and equip world-class leadership that ignites transformation” all this with the target to increase the knowledge of those willing to better their leadership abilities that lead to the positive change in the community.
GLN does this through organizing high class leadership summit named Global Leadership Summit (GLS) that gathers people from different countries as well as other secondary meetings in different countries around the world.
Through the high-class conferences and secondary meetings, GLN reaches around 125 thousand every year worldwide including Burundi. In GLS international leadership speakers share their experiences. In Burundi, beside international speakers, we also have national ones who have proved success in their leadership carriers.
In Burundi, GLS uses Video projection for international speakers who speak once a year at Chicago, US but national ones speak live.
GLS gathers different leadership profiles, experiences, knowledge, who then share and sharpen each other in interactive sessions. GLS focuses on empowering leaders, helping them to set clear visions and motivating them for the better of the community.
GLS also organizes trainings for specific groups such as associations, students, police candidates and officers as well as pupils from several schools.
Since 2016, those who participate in the sessions appreciate the leadership tools they have got through GLS and testify that they have got a positive change in their character, management and behaviour. In the year 2020 only GLS reached around 11,000 leaders and 14,000 were reached in the year 2023.
Based on that experience, we wish to take these leadership teachings to as many leaders in Burundi as we get the access and permission; all these with the objective of supporting and contributing in the way that leads to the accomplishment of the Nation’s objectives (2040 auto-sufficient country, 2060 developed country) together with other goals.
