Advanced Residency Programme for Leadership in Parliaments - for Clerks and Officials - June 2024
Event Details
Dates: 9 - 15 June 2024
Location: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Co-hosted by: CPA HQ Secretariat and the Parliament of Sri Lanka
Overview
The Advanced Residency Programme for Leadership in Parliament is a five day programme specifically for parliamentary officials. The course will help both experienced senior officials and their newer more junior counterparts to enhance their people and soft skills on topics ranging from leadership and strategic thinking to project management and conflict resolution and mediation. This course is intended to focus on developing universal skills that can be applicable both in parliaments and outside. It is important to stress that the course does not directly focus on parliamentary practice and procedure. One key aspect of the residency programme will be a focus on ‘training for trainers’ which is intended to embed sustainability into parliamentary learning and development. Participants will be encouraged to share what they have learnt with their colleagues, and will be given training on facilitation techniques.
