In the summer of 2007, two workshops were held regarding Leadership and Communication in Cambodia. The overall objective was to empower executive committee representatives of the National League of Communes and Songkats (NLC/S) within the nation. This includes strengthening democracy on the grassroots level, workings towards effective decentralization and promoting transparent and responsible governance.

The workshop series was designed to increase the capabilities of the NLC/S representatives. These capabilities mainly included more effective leadership and communication skills in times of transformation of state system and civil society. More specifically, it would provide training in the NLC/S representatives’ appearance in the media, conflict resolution/negotiation, running meetings and building more effective teams.

Although leadership and communication were at the heart of the workshop, many of the workshop activities were also constructed to support creativity and innovation. Through a modern participatory approach it was apparent that implementing creativity can ultimately lead to progress of ideas within a country. In conclusion, these workshops were well received and the lessons learned can further be implemented throughout the NLC/S and Cambodia.In the summer of 2007, two workshops were held regarding Leadership and Communication in Cambodia.
