In June 2022, 33 Fulbright alumni participated in Australia’s inaugural Leadership Development Program. Led by the Australian Fulbright Alumni Association (AFAA), in collaboration with Fulbright Australia and the University of Technology Sydney, the program was designed to: (i) enhance the impact of the Fulbright experience and strengthen alumni connections and collaborations; (ii) foster the exchange of ideas and challenge and inspire participants to perform at their highest level professionally (iii) support alumni to develop renewed strategies for creating positive social change.
This presentation will outline why and how we developed the program; the adult learning methods employed; the ideas that participants developed for individual and collective implementation; and stories of implementation and change. Issues and opportunities for future iterations will be discussed.
Participation: This forum will be in a Zoom Meeting format. Attendees can share their screen, unmute and engage in discussion.
