Main highlights “Foundations for Freedom” in cooperation with “Center for Political Education” has conducted a series of Ethical Leadership Workshops in 4 regions of Ukraine as part of a “Development of Responsible Democratic Leadership” project. Workshops took place in the Crimea, in the village of Beregove at the seaside, and also in picturesque places near Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Lviv for the representatives of youth NGOs practically from the whole country. During the workshops, the participants examined the ethical and moral components of 'leadership' which helped them to define for themselves their personal motivations, life values and priorities. The necessity of ethics in leadership was discussed as were the importance of responsibility, integrity, following their moral principles and serving society. The workshops incorporate a lot of interactive learning such as small and large group discussions, practical tasks and exercises. An important element of all F4F courses is, of course, time for individual reflection and the opportunity to share thoughts and experiences. The following are a few of the many comments that F4F received in feedback from the workshops:
The key of solving many problems lies in old and simple truth...
I've got a wish to change the direction where I move, the aim in life; I've started to question the values that I have defined as priorities in my life before the course.
Being a part of training for trainers of F4F
I have realized the importance of cooperation in life, and not only in business, NGO, etc.
We all come from childhood Ethical Leadership Workshops in Ukraine The most interesting and life changing meetings happen by chance A few notes from Treasurer
I've got the skills of self-discovery, understanding of myself, others, my thoughts and actions. A habit has appeared to believe in the better sides of a person, and generally in the existence of good people. On the whole, I was thinking for three days, that my head hasn't been thinking like that for while.
