To achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 for Sustainable Cities and Communities, as well as the other SDGs, we need more great leaders who think globally and act locally. In this workshop, I will explain how you can enhance your leadership skills to bring positive change to your community and create a ripple effect. Do not miss out on this exciting workshop with leadership philosophies, tips from influential leaders, and my own unique leadership story.  You will know more about how you can successfully start and lead a student club to host activities and events that raise awareness and spark change.

I will also share how I led more than 35 people to organize activities and events as Head Girl, all while achieving high grades, participating in extracurricular activities, and applying to universities. Discover how I overcame the obstacles that I faced and learned from my experiences. If you are a Model United Nations delegate, MUN Chair, or MUN student conference organizer, you will also receive meaningful MUN-related insights from my workshop.
