Global Leadership Program
Program Overview
The Eleventh Annual Global Leadership Program is a comprehensive four-week program in July 2010 that includes: university courses, cultural activities, and community service. The program is open to undergraduate university students from around the world.
This year you have a choice of two separate programs with different themes: 
-
Foundations of Leadership offers new participants a core subject on Philosophies of Leadership and one elective to choose from Global Business, Human Rights and Introduction to Diplomacy. -
Intercultural Understanding offers alumni an opportunity to return with one elective to choose from Special topics in Globalisation, Comparative Study of Religion, Peace and Conflict, Strategies of Negotiation, and a core subject on Philosophies of Leadership for new participants.
Community Service
Work with members of the Czech community on service projects. 
These activities are not only rewarding, but allow you to put theoretical knowledge learned in the classroom to practical use.
Field-trips
Visit the Czech countryside for a team building retreat. Later in the program, raise your awareness of human tragedy by visiting Terezin, former concentration camp during WWII.
Speakers
Get first-hand advice from leaders in business, politics, education, and the public sector.
Workshops
Learn practical skills, such as public speaking techniques, how to write business plans, and, most importantly, how to create and implement a project in your home community.

Getting Credit
All courses are upper-division (2nd and 3rd year undergraduate courses), taught in English, and fully accredited. Transcripts are issued by Charles University, the oldest university in Eastern Europe. Each course is worth 3 US/6 ECTS semester credits.
AIM Overseas works closely with many Australian universities and when you apply for a program, AIM Overseas is able to provide you advice and support in seeking credit in Australia for your overseas program.
Many of our students obtain credit towards their Australian degree, or other qualification, for the program they take overseas.
The possibility of getting credit towards a university degree varies depending on a student’s personal circumstances, the program they select and their degree. Contact AIM Overseas to discuss your personal case.
