SHE Pioneers
SHE Pioneers is a leadership programme specifically tailored for women in executive, managerial or expert positions. The programme aims to empower women as business leaders in times of change. Through networking events, on-demand sessions, and workshops, women are offered the opportunity to reflect and grow their leadership skills.
One of the program’s main goals is to create a growing female network in the region for knowledge exchange, support, and business cooperation.
The SHE Pioneers concept originates from the Swedish Institute’s SHE Leadership Programme. This toolkit version is integrated with Pioneer the possible and enables foregin missions to run their own programmes with the support of SI in order to build trust and new relationships with key players in business.
The programme consists of the following:
- A welcome mingle
- Four digital on-demand sessions
- One workshop (physical or digital)
- A diploma lunch
