Why does LSS exist?

Many international student organisations, representing various backgrounds and disciplines, often share similar goals to improve the skills of their leaders, knowledge transfer, continuity and internal communication.

The Leadership Summer School project was born to fulfil perceived needs related to development and/or improvement of their training culture, leaders readiness to manage their organisation and networking with diverse youth associations. This interdisciplinary event became a training platform for active youth volunteers.

When and Where?

What are we looking for?

During the event, the participants will enjoy a wide variety of working formats: training, small working groups, case studies, simulation, debates, discussions and others, which will help you improving your skills in different aspects of leadership.

LSS is designed to be a very practical non-formal learning experience that aims at fostering personal development, collaboration, as well as achieving a multiplier effect for the associations involved. Furthermore, informal networking opportunities between participants are stimulated to address the role of culture in context of leadership and academic success.

Thus we are looking for 70 highly motivated and active students and youth who will participate in a training program of 50+ hours in total.
