Leadership for Transformative Change
Leadership for Transformative Change is a training programme designed for leaders globally working for societal transformation towards sustainability. The programme is built on co-creation, where the participants’ needs, ideas and challenges are important building blocks.
The programme is offered by Uppsala University in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
The programme aims to provide leaders motivated for systems innovation and transformative change with knowledge, tools and a network for a sustainable future. It is offered part-time (20%) in English over a period of 12 months. A majority of the programme modules are organised online, but all participants also come together for two real-life meetings, one of them in Sweden.

"We have had interesting and thought-provoking discussions about leadership and how to foster change in systems and society as a whole. The training will increase my awareness of my own leadership qualities and shortcomings. In order to hone my leadership style, I will also delve deeply into novel ideas like gender transformative leadership and design thinking."
