Wellesley College in Massachusetts will organize the first Women in Public Service Project Institute from June 11to 22, 2012. The pilot institute will bring together 50 emerging women leaders throughout the world between the ages of 25-45 who are already serving in different fields of public service or political or elected office.
The institute anticipates offering a forum for shared learning and dialogue, exchange of experiences and expertise, peer-to-peer mentoring and networking, and building an important platform for cross-fertilization of knowledge and innovative leadership skills.
Since the incorporation of the institute a year from the defining events of the Arab Spring will acknowledge the uniqueness of this historical moment by including a particularly strong group from the Middle East and North Africa regions (MENA) as well as from other countries undergoing political and social transformations.
The Women in Public Service Project will cover the travel and accommodation costs of all selected participants. English will be the medium of instruction and English proficiency is required of all applicants.
Submit the following application materials by February 15, 2012
