Managing Global Governance Programme

As part of the Science Dialogue Day series, the virtual session on June 12th continues the exchange among leadership academies in North Rhine-Westphalia as initiated in 2024. Building on the discussions from the 1^st Science Dialogue Day, which focused on strategies for diversity and inclusion in leadership programmes, this virtual follow-up session provides a space for revisiting the concept and for reflections, discussions and exchange on implementations and learnings.

Diverse leadership is essential for contributing to just and equal societies. To increase diversity, it is fundamental that different segments of the population are represented in leadership positions across all sectors (public, private, and social). Ideally, leaders should represent the population as a whole and be aware of privileges, power structures, broader concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Promoting diversity will enable the development of more inclusive and sustainable public policies and initiatives.

The workshop is designed to provide an interactive and participatory experience that enhances the understanding and implementation of diversity and inclusion within leadership programmes. Participants will have the opportunity to share actions they have implemented since the last meeting, reflect on new challenges they might need support with, exchange insights and best practices, and explore ways to further integrate inclusive leadership approaches into their work. The discussion will also focus on how leadership programmes can strengthen their impact and resilience, particularly in times of political shifts and global crises

The online exchange will bring together directors and coordinators of leadership programmes in NRW targeting sustainable development. Various research and training institutions in NRW have developed academies and other training programmes for young professionals and future leaders in international cooperation on sustainable development.
