Are you passionate about learning? Are you passionate about developing your leadership skills? Are you interested in cultural diversity? We are looking for Moroccan leaders who are willing to participate in the Leadership in Community Development Project - LICD.
Leadership in Community Development (LICD) is the transformational leadership programme that the British Council is running in Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Algeria, and the UK. “LICD” incorporates our previously known InterAction Leadership Programme.
We aim to develop a powerful network of like-minded leaders to contribute to positive social change in their individual communities.
“LICD” is distinct from other leadership training in that it inspires individuals to identify themselves as leaders and equips them with the tools to engage constructively and enable them to remove the barriers to positive social change within their communities.
This exciting new programme will be an innovative journey that brings participants in the involved countries together with their peers in the UK to share learning, good practice and encourage debates that inspire people to action.
We have been running the InterAction programme since 2003 in Sub-Saharan Africa. To date over 3,000 participants from 19 countries have completed the course.
Being involved with LICD can have a number of lasting and positive benefits including:
 |
 |
|
enhance your capacities to take ownership and make creative choices |
|
|
|

British council Morocco signed memorandum of understandings with two local partners: Centre Marocain des Études Stratégiques and Forum Méditerranéen de la Jeunesse et de l’Enfance -FOMEJE, Assilah.
The first module took place from 3 to 5 August and helped the 31 participants set their own goals for the programme and begin developing a network of peers in their own country.
The second workshop of the LICD programme intituled Leadership Insights for Peer Support Networks and Active Networks for Positive Change will be run from 28 to 31 October 2009 in Asilah. In Module 2, all the 31 participants who were selected from different Moroccan associations and NGO's will have the opportunity to meet with Scottish participants.
This module is designed to encourage participants to think positively about their countries, to share experiences and to learn from each other. The aim is to strengthen links and connections between the participants in Morocco and Scotland and help them develop a common project. LICD is the transformational leadership programme that the British Council in NENA -North Africa and Near East region.
The third module entitled "Ready for Creative Community Engagement" will be run from 9 to 12 December 2009.
