A year-long professional development programme designed for talented and creative European Jewish community professionals, who want to make a meaningful difference in their communities and maximise their leadership potential.
Over the course of the year, participants take part in three in-person seminars, including one joint global seminar with fellows from Latin America and the Former Soviet Union. Through these seminars, fellows develop practical skills, strengthen their confidence, deepen their Jewish inspiration, and build a peer network that supports their continued leadership and impact.
The programme focuses on four key areas:
- Leadership
- Management
- Working in a community context
- Working in a Jewish context
