The second phase provided exposure to local and international leadership strategies, incorporating
training on media engagement and public relations to strengthen leaders’ communication and visibility.

The third and final phase aimed to develop elite leadership competencies, allowing participants to apply
their knowledge in real-world scenarios and undertake high-level strategic projects that prepare them for
advanced leadership roles.
