Stories from the Field
WLP Publication Highlight: French Multimedia Leadership Curriculum Published
WLP, in cooperation with WLP partner in Morocco, Association Démocratique des Femmes du Maroc, published the French edition of Leading to Choices: A Multimedia Curriculum for Leadership Learning. It is the second culture-specific adaptation of WLP's innovative multimedia training package. The English and Persian editions are available online at: http://www.learningpartnership.org/publications/multimedia. The French edition is tailored for human rights and democracy activists, educators, women leaders, and facilitators working with francophone communities in Africa.

The package provides three guides and three videos on Developing Effective Advocacy Campaigns, Communicating for Change, and Learning to Facilitate Interactively. The curriculum is used in training of trainers programs and focuses on developing persuasive and compelling media messages and coalition building strategies for advocacy campaigns on women's rights.

Regional Learning Institute for Women's Leadership in Central Asia
Women's Learning Partnership (WLP) together with its regional partner convened a Central Asia Regional Learning Institute for Women's Leadership from August 24-27, 2005 in Shymkent, Kazakhstan. NGO leaders, journalists, and human rights activists from five countries - Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - participated in the Institute, which consisted of a week-long intensive skills development program in participatory leadership, interactive facilitation, persuasive communication, and effective advocacy campaign development.
The Institute took place amidst an atmosphere of heightened security and political tensions in the region. In the face of increasing restrictions on civil society and NGOs, human rights, and press freedom in the region, WLP brought participants together to create a regional network of women's rights advocates working to advance women in leadership and decision-making positions.
