”Where is your brother” And who is your sister?

Young Leader's Workshop in Johannesburg, South Africa in 20^th – 27^th August 2011

With this theme Global Fellowship invites young leaders to an international training course with leadership development in focus. The first part of the title is a quote from the Bible, where God asked Cain about his brother.

The whole course will focus on the reply in this story: “Am I my brother's guardian?” We shall focus on responsibility, not only among our own individual members, but also in a broader aspect. What can you do as a young leader – how are you able to extend your passion, your commitment to your brothers and sisters in your own society? How can you address your leadership in your organisation to broader groups – do you have any tools for such an approach? These are just some of the questions we will deal with on the course. And since young leaders from the whole world will attend the course you will encounter many new ideas, be motivated and inspired to find some answers to the above question. This is a fantastic chance to learn about other cultures, to get a better understanding of our societies, and to meet new friends across the world. Global Fellowship wants to provide a learning “lab” for young leaders with cross-cultural activities. Each participant will bring something, but get more, and therefore this workshop is also a leadership development opportunity for all participants.

Venue:

The course will take place in South Africa, close to Johannesburg in a very peaceful and hilly area. The Conference Centre, where we shall be hosted, is situated on a hilltop with a beautiful view.

Accommodation :

Baptist Union Conference Centre. The rooms have 2 or 4 beds, with shared showers and toilet facilities. There is a large playground for different kinds of games, and activities.

Price:

$150US per participant. Each participant has to arrange their own passport, visa (if needed), insurance and medical vaccinations etc.; also their own transport to and from Johannesburg airport. Assistance may be available from Global Fellowship only if you contact us in plenty of time.
The registration fee of $150US must be paid by yourself or your organisation when the course starts. And the fee covers everything during the course: accommodation, food, excursions etc.

You apply to your own organisation, and the national organisation will approve and select two young leaders. It will then forward the details of the two applicants to us. The training course is open to 2 young leaders from each member organisation aged 18-30.
