Youth Leadership
and Empowerment Program
(2018)
The Peruvian “Ship for World Youth Leaders Alumni Association” (SWYAA Peru) presented the "Youth Leadership and Empowerment Program", a post-program activity organized by the SWY30 Peruvian Delegation. It was aimed at students of INTECI - Instituto de Profesiones Empresariales, a professional institute with 17 years of experience in the fields of gastronomy, tourism and fashion design. A group of 30 applicants were selected for the program with the purpose of training and turning them into responsible and committed leaders. The program was inspired by the "Design for Change" methodology, with 3 modules that ranged from self-knowledge and personal empowerment. This methodology uses a simple 4 step design framework – FIDS (Feel, Imagine, Do, Share) to cultivate the I CAN Mind-set and to strengthen leadership skills. Ex-PYs were responsible of carrying out this activity composed by 6 sessions held between August and October 2018.
