ENGINEERS WITHOUT BORDERS NATIONAL CONFERENCE 2012 CONTENT WEDNESDAY SESSION DESCRIPTIONS Leadership Day Leadership Day will bring together the leaders and potential leaders from across EWB to empower them to drive innovation and enable the organization to take a meaningful step forward. Participants will be challenged intensively on their leadership skills and contribute to in-depth discussions at an organizational level. Participating leaders will be trained by highly skilled professionals and EWBers sharing their experience and expertise on important leadership skills. Leadership Day will include full-day retreats for City Network Leaders, Chapter Presidents, African Program Staff, Returned and 2012 Junior Fellows, and our Distributed Teams. In addition, a number of focus groups are being hosted by organizational leaders. These focus groups were opened for applications from delegates across the country, resulting in over 150 leaders attending 6 focus groups. Descriptions of each of the focus groups can be found below. Reconsider, Redefine, Revive: Disrupting Youth Engagement Location: Richelieu Why do we flashmob adults and powerpoint kids The YE distributed team is reconsidering how we can both be and create systems changers; redefining our program’s understanding and definition of engagement; and reviving Youth Engagement’s momentum and energy to a level of sophistication and strategy it has never seen. Participants will be challenged to open their minds and dream big, exploring some challenging opportunities presented by our unique program and diving into (tearing apart) a draft vision and strategy that has been put together by the team over the past two months. We need leaders who are so excited by the potential of driving this program into a new era that they’re feeling kind of nervous about it. We need leaders willing to challenge themselves and each other, to dream, and to work with us to create a new direction and strategy for the future of the youth engagement program – all in one day. Member Learning Location: Laurentian Throughout the day, we will be building an understanding of first where our chapters’ ML programs are at, what we believe a good ML program is, and then planning on how to get there. There will be aspects of explicit leadership growth and personal reflection, as well as workshops and activities that allow participants to let their leadership abilities shine through in visioning and planning a future for ML. Member Learning is incredibly important to a chapter and to an organization: the knowledge and critical thinking skills of our members is what enables all of our programs – let’s make this learning as dynamic, engaging, and challenging as possible! 14
