WFWP EU Women's Leadership Conference in, Prague CZ

WFWP Int’l in Europe kicked off its three-day event today, 13 Nov 2015, with its first mini workshop session on Young Women’s Leadership at the Hotel Olsanka in Prague, Czech Republic. It took place on the theme ‘Defining and Strengthening Women’s Leadership in the 21st Century - Education. Advocacy. Networking’

The discussion was chaired by Marcela Rozehnalova, WFWP Czech President, who emphasized the importance of developing people’s internal skills - the heart and character of a person – and their external skills.

In order to find ways to effectively implement women’s skills into the society, guest speakers were invited to offer insight on female role models and to encourage young women to take more initiative.

Among the invitees were Carolyn Handschin, President WFWP-Europe, Rostya Gordon Smith, Human Resources Expert, and Luciana Krupickova, a representative of Erasmus+Youth.

In an interesting turn of events, young women from the audience were invited by Rostya Gordon Smith to participate on a brainstorm session/debate. The goal of this session was not only to get the youth thinking, but to also give them the chance to raise their voice regarding issues women have faced up to this day.

The mini workshop session concluded with advocates of peace being presented with Ambassadors for Peace Awards, offered by Yeon Ah Moon, Carolyn Handschin and Marcela Rozehnalova.
