2011-03-04  LSS 2011 Open Call for Trainers and selections

 Please excuse the inconvenience of the LSS 2011 open call for trainers not having been published on the LSS webpage on time, but instead only through the IFISO and different LSS mailing lists, and additionally different Facebook channels. (Note: I, the webpage admin, apologize personally. I didn't manage due to personal workload.)

Just for completeness, here you can find the open call for trainers which was published on the IFISO mailing list on Feb 13. Application deadline was Feb 27.

On Tuesday, March 1 two training coordinators were selected by the Coordination Team, with support of Zero Generation. Congratulations to Kajsa Olofsson and Astrid Schrader. We're looking forward to great cooperation and an awesome event.

 

2011-01-19  LSS 2011 CT: extended

 From Jan 7-9, 2011 the coordination team (CT) of the Leadership Summer School 2011 met for their first face-to-face meeting in Avellino, Italy. Supported by Luka Lačan, head of the LSS 2010 Organising Committee (OC), member of the LSS 2010 CT, and current member of the LSS 2011 CT advisory board, they spent an intense working and teambuilding weekend, getting to know each other more closely, to ensure good communication and smooth and fruitful cooperation throughout the project, and especially worked on the topics PR and fundraising.

 After being selected for OC with his team, Joost Brillemans joint the CT as fifth in the team, responsible for ensuring good communication between CT and OC. Unfortunately, he could not join the face-to-face meeting in Avellino, as notice came too shortly, but common work has started off by now and is developing.

 At the face-to-face meeting the CT also decided to extend the team by an additional position responsible for Media and Design and admitted Uroš Zupan as number six in the team.

 Work on the event itself, on the new concept, the schedule and the funding has started and is picking up pace. We will keep you posted about the development here on this webpage, on our Facebook page, the new LSS 2011 Facebook group, our Twitter channels (@LSS_online and @LSS2011) with hashtag #lss2011, and other channels like older LSS Facebook groups, and the IFISO webpage and Facebook group.

 

2010-12-28  And the winner is... the LSS 2011 Organising Committee

 After receiving some really great applications from six highly motivated teams, the LSS 2011 Coordination Team (CT) had the difficult job to choose just one of them to organise the upcoming Leadership Summer School 2011. Thanks a lot to AEGEE-Izmir, APEF, IEEE PSUT, SSE Cluj-Napoca and TURKMSIC for their really strong applications.

 In the end, a cross-NGO team could convince the CT with their innovative concept. It will once more take the LSS a huge step further in its development. And being backed by many of the LSS founders, IFISO NL is bringing the Leadership Summer School back to where it was born, back to the Netherlands where the first LSS had been planed to take place, but till today has not. This time we are going to make it happen!

 Thanks a lot to Joost Brillemans and his team for their excellent application. Be aware, everyone! Something big is coming up.

 Thank you Heikki for having set this up!

2010-08-10 Sharing is Caring - WAVE

 The main goal of the workshops was self - exploration and accepting your own strengths and weaknesses, because, as the LSS trainers firmly believe, getting to know yourself is the first step in becoming a true leader. The topics discussed on the sessions were: giving and receiving feedback, emotional intelligence and cultural differences, leadership styles, group dynamics, presentation skills, time management, solving conflicts and motivation...
