"Leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about creating the space for people to listen, learn and work together. That is exactly what this programme has achieved," says our International Campaigns Director Daniella Myers.

We're excited to announce our final speaker for the Commonwealth Jewish Council's Interfaith & Leadership Course!
Dr James Walters, Founding Director of the LSE Faith Centre, will lead a thought-provoking session on "Advocating for Dialogue in Times of Religious Conflict."
In a world where religion continues to shape politics, identity, and society, this session will explore how faith can be a source of bridge-building, dialogue, and mutual understanding.
This programme is for emerging Jewish and Christian leaders (age 18-35) in the Commonwealth who are already involved in community life and want to grow in their leadership.
Applicants might be:
Active in faith communities, charities, education, or civic work
Volunteers or professionals working with communities
Early-career leaders or people beginning to take on leadership roles
Participants are expected to take an active role in the programme and contribute to discussions thoughtfully and respectfully.
Those selected for the programme should be willing to:
Attend all six weekly sessions
Take part actively in group discussions and exercises
Engage openly and respectfully with people from different faith backgrounds
Reflect on their own leadership values and experiences
Develop and begin planning a small interfaith project in their community
Participants should also be prepared to set aside a small amount of time between sessions for reading, reflection, and project development.
