To support healthy and equitable landscapes for current and future generations, we must embody and practice landscape leadership: collaborative leadership that cares for people and their livelihoods, values ecosystems and facilitates action that goes beyond business as usual.
The 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop will be a hub of invaluable knowledge, skills, tools and insights on how you can become a landscape leader. The carefully curated sessions, interactive discussions and hands-on activities will encourage participants to navigate complex challenges, materialize visions rooted in the landscape approach and grounded by justice, and collaborate across sectors.
But it’s not just about learning; it’s about building lifelong connections. The Landscape Leadership Workshop will be a unique networking platform, connecting you with fellow participants, renowned experts during GLF Nairobi, and potential new collaborators. You will have the opportunity to forge meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, stories, knowledge and hope, and be part of a supportive Africa-wide network that extends far beyond the duration of the program.
Apply now for a spot at the 2023 Landscape Leadership Workshop, and embark on a transformative journey towards landscape leadership. Co-designed by the Global Landscapes Forum, the Youth in Landscapes Initiative (YIL) and the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), this workshop will take place in Nairobi, Kenya, ahead of the GLF Nairobi 2023 Hybrid Conference: A New Vision for Earth.
This immersive experience will bring together like-minded students, young professionals, experts, and community-minded individuals from across Africa, creating a vibrant, cross-cultural community dedicated to driving impactful and transformative change.
