The Swedish Institute has recently launched the She Entrepreneurs Leadership Programme.

She Entrepreneurs aims to offer female entrepreneurs from the MENA region an opportunity to elevate their business initiatives to a whole new level.

During a total of two and a half weeks on two separate modules, the She Entrepreneurs Programme offers personal and professional development to women whose social enterprise delivers a solution for positive social change. The first module is set to begin March 27, 2017 and the second on September 27, 2017.

The hands-on and practical study program consists of seminars, workshops and interactive learning methods, combined with reflection sessions, team-building and practical exercises. Facilitators and expert mentors are available for guidance. There are also study visits and meetings with inspiring social entrepreneurs.

The program is designed to build on participants’ knowledge of business elements, from branding to risk-taking. The event will include like-minded candidates, who have the advantage to meet, inspire each other, and share experiences on common challenges.

The call for applications for She Entrepreneurs 2017 is now open and will close on October 6, 2016. Apply now!

All expenses are covered by the Swedish Institute (travel and accomodation).
