WFWP EU Women's Leadership Conference in, Prague CZ Day 2

The second day of our WFWP EU conference in Prague, CZ, Sat 14 Nov 2015, was overshadowed by the attacks in Paris. With heavy hearts, we started the day with a minute of silent prayer to remember our brothers and sisters in France and around the world in the wake of these atrocities, praying for peace; in the face of hatred and evil. And we could only come to an even stronger resolve to work for peace, unity and love. It’s the message of love and compassion that the world needs now, more than ever.

With such a resolve, we had a full day of inspiring speakers, lectures and activities to empower our sisters of all ages and religious and cultural backgrounds to take on the challenges of leadership based on the logic of love.

The morning sessions took place under the themes ‘Women’s Leadership and Responsibility’ and Intergenerational Partnerships and feminine Leadership’.

In the afternoon, the topic of discussion was ‘Breaking through the Glass Ceiling in Society and Changing the Leadership Paradigm’.

This was followed by a hands-on interactive session during which we split up into different break-out groups to receive practical guidance and tips on the topic of our choice.

We were also treated to beautiful musical performances.

We are witnessing a Europe in turmoil at the moment with terror attacks and migration crises, and these issues can only be resolved through strong leadership of both women and men working together for peace!
