WHAT TO EXPECT?
Experts and foreign guests, all inspiring characters, will guide your footsteps on the path of
leadership. You will learn from the knowledge and experience of your tutors and your colleagues
alike, share best practices and expand your professional horizon.
As participant in this program, you will have access to all conferences and seminars organized
by the RLP SEE in Romania.
In order to successfully end the program, you have to prove your leadership skills by developing
a group project together with your fellow participants.
As commitment and integrity are the key-words, participation in all of the sessions is
compulsory.
The primary goal of the leadership program is the creation of a pool of young individuals
who understand the importance of values and integrity, and who are ready to take the lead in
promoting rule of law principles and enforce them through their work.
The project’s objectives are to train talented junior lawyers to become leaders in their field,
to equip them with essential leadership skills, project management abilities, as well as substantive
knowledge about democracy, rule of law, justice and especially professional ethics. They will
also be involved in individual and group projects in order for them to have a practical understanding
of what being a leader means.
The target group of this program is made of law students in their last year of university
studies, master or doctoral law students, and recent law graduates in the first 3 years of their
professional career, who prove leadership potential. The participants, coming from all over Romania,
need to be genuinely interested and committed to play a pro-active role in the evolutions
of the legal and socio-political system of Romania.
The activities envisaged by the project will comprise three main components: learning, seeing
and doing. Each of these components focuses on the development of key abilities foreseen
for the participants in the program. The program consists of six training sessions throughout
2011, meetings with experts, seminars, and developing a project.
