Kazakhstan - Empowering Young Professionals in Central Asia to Collectively Lead Transboundary Environmental Initiatives

Project context

CLI was invited to the the 10th anniversary Central Asian Leadership Programme on Environment for Sustainable Development (CALP) in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Participants were young professionals from Central Asia working in the public sector, civil society, private sector, and media who share a commitment to collaborating across borders for the benefit of environment and society. In several sessions during this 4 day event, we introduced the Collective Leadership Compass and Dialogic Change Model and used cases to show how these methodologies can be applied in practice. The participants analysed the CALP Network as an emerging Collaboration Ecosystem for the environment in Central Asia and proposed next steps in the process.
