Leader-ship

Leader.. and ship..
The wind never comes as we wish, but it is up to sail with our ship in the best way, and reach the shore.

That was the vision that five people from different places had when they met in Stokholm a week ago.. That was and will be the vision they will adopt until they get to the shore.
With a variety of capacities, ranging from visual expression skills, to managerial and leadership skills, to communication skills.. and with a common interest in human rights and a concern towards the globe, and with a committment, this team decided to lead their ship together and deliver a product that will serve as a tool of communication, awareness raising, and capacity building.

The team saw this as a tool of widening their horizons on the individua level, where each member will be able to maximize his/her experience while at the same time sharing it. They also agreed that this could serve as a great chance for building a network that connects young capacities in the MENA region, as well as sweden, where an exchange of experience and best practice and even culture is possible.

The teams committment crystalizes in visualizing their upcoming idea as innovative, youthful, functions as a networking tool, as well as a connecting point between the online world, and the offline world, as it was important to consider that MENA countries and Sweden are not of the same level of technology advancement, therefore a real connection between the cyber world and the street is highly important.

Last but not least, the team differs in skills and intersts, which creates a beautiful shade difference, yet, the common fround they stand and work upon is their awareness and concern towards human rights. Therefore, adopting these conventions and beliefs is a priority in the team's coherence and comminication, and promoting them is one priority the team will work on.

The journey has just started, stay tuned.. on board.
