The presentation and discussions aimed to share experiences on effective leadership skills in peace building, while on 13 November 2010 the same group enjoyed a full day workshop with HDFF facilitators on general leadership skills like Motivation, delegation and empowerment.
Even though the Thai situation is specific, however, the Nepalese participants indicated that they could draw a lot of lessons learned from these activities for their actual work. These events were part of the ongoing partnership between AIT-E and HDFF in Leadership Development and Peace Building programs.
