Activities in Indonesia

Curriculum Development:

In cooperation with Indonesian NGO Foundation for Sustainable Living, WLP has produced a Bahasa Indonesian edition of Leading to Choices. The testing process is complete and final review of the manual is currently underway.

Leadership Workshops:

Leadership Workshop Indonesia The Bahasa Indonesian edition of Leading to Choices was tested at a full leadership workshop in Palangka Raya Municipality with a group of NGO activists, government officials, and business owners. During the course of the workshop, NGO activists and government officials were able to break down some of the barriers between them because of a history of opposition, and share their ideas more openly.

On publication, WLP will begin to implement a program of leadership workshops in Indonesia.
