Programme
The UN Staff College inaugurated the UN Leaders Programme in May 2009. It is an agency-complementary, themed strategic leadership programme with a One UN outlook for UN senior staff.
The underlying premise of the programme is to combine theory and practice, anchored in a ‘real’ world challenge, such as Climate Change, Ethics and Accountability, Human Rights, Technology and Communication, Sustainable Development. The programme is built around:
- A pre-residential component, with individual explanations of the personal leadership challenge, learning materials and networking support on the dedicated website,
- A 4½ day residential component, with:
- A combination of theory, practice and self-reflection within a learning-by-sharing framework, using innovative and non-traditional learning elements.
- Alternating learning formats (plenary, small dialogue groups and self-reflection sessions) to facilitate a journey of self-discovery.
- Atypical sessions with, for example, an orchestra conductor, senior UN leaders, a photographer, the military, a team of chefs,...
- A post-residential component, with an on-line community of peers, evaluation and personal commitment reminder
More information about the programme can be found in the brochure, the cohort descriptions and the executive summary. The programme is designed for directors and participants are selected by nomination from their agencies. Executive Summary and evaluation of the previous cohorts can be found here.
