This free program is available to young women between the ages of 22 and 37 who have a good command of English and a desire to engage in their community’s public life. In recent years, this training program has received much attention from the press in Hungary, and has helped foster a public dialogue in the country about enhancing the participation of women in leadership positions. Graduates of the program receive help to perform their tasks even more effectively, as employees in public administration, international organizations, public institutions, or even run their own business or start-up. A further aim of the program is to create a growing "alumni community" and network whose members will hopefully form Hungary's next community of leading female public figures.
The curriculum is structured around the following four professional/theoretical modules: foreign policy (multilateral and bilateral relations, diplomacy, negotiation techniques, protocol); social responsibility (social inequalities, difficulties, politics, lobbying); legal foundations (domestic and international law, public administration, preparation of laws, decision-making); psychology (political and mass psychology, self-awareness, behavioural science, change management).
