Leadership for Sustainability Transition
Boost your sustainability career skillset with an intensive experience into becoming a more resilient and effective agent of sustainable transition.
We train both the hard and soft skills equipping you with tools and methodologies to consciously navigate and master local as well as national and international dynamics of change. With the your new readings of sustainability goals and elements of change you will be able to clearly define your vision and goals while engaging others in your vision.
This workshop will help you build your tool-kit at three levels by combining:
- A solid exploration of effective response mechanisms to change and needed policy frameworks,
- A practical perspective based on ongoing projects and best practices in Switzerland and beyond,
- A deeper dive into the self-leadership skills necessary to aspire and engage your community.

I successfully completed the Geneva Summer Schools, University of Geneva, Program "Leadership for Sustainability Transition". Great two weeks behind me. We had an opportunity to visit UNEP IT and World Economic Forum and learn from their representatives. It was an honor to meet so many inspiring people who share the same vision - to make this world a better and more sustainable place for all living species.
