Leadership and Organizing is an online course of 5 modules that teaches requisites of Leadership including Action, Power, Change, Strategies, Tactics, Campaigns, Goals through interactive sessions.

We welcome any aspiring leader to take up this course to gain practical know-hows on Leadership and Organizing.

Please apply only if you can commit for all the 5 lecture sessions and 5 practice sessions, as we take only selected 60 participants, in one batch. Every Lecture is of 2 hours and practice sessions of 1 hour and 15 minutes. Assignments will be due after every session. The participants must complete their attendance and assignments requirements to attain a certificate of the course.

The course will be facilitated by two faculties; Mr. Sachin Timalsena and Ms. Prakriti Bhattarai Basnet.

Mr. Sachin Timalsena is a socio-political activist and an educator. He has completed his masters from Tribhuvan University in Conflict, Peace and Development Studies. Mr. Timalsena has also attained an executive certificate in Leadership, Organizing and Action from the Harvard Kennedy School.  He teaches organizational behavior to students in Ace International Business School.

Prakriti Bhattarai Basnet, 22 years old, is the chairperson of Political Literacy for Women. Political Literacy for Women (PLfW) aims to increase Nepali women's knowledge about Politics and is designed to provide learning, networking, and leading spaces for Nepali women. The campaign has successfully been able to educate more than 100 young girls and women about the basics of politics. Political Literacy for Women advocates for meaningful participation of women over mere representation of women in political spaces. She studied Leadership, Organizing and Action from Harvard Kennedy School.

We designed this course to support the learning of those committed to improving their practice of leadership, organizing, and action. This practice can be learned only through experience that engages the heart, head, and hands. Our hands must learn new skills. Our heads must learn when, where, and why to use those skills. And our hearts must give us the courage, hope, and commitment to take the risks required to learn to use those skills effectively. Just like learning to ride a bicycle, we learn to keep our balance by trying, falling, and finding the courage to try again. You will learn concepts, see them modeled in action, put them into practice yourself, and reflect critically on your own practice: individually, with peers and with your teaching fellow.

Your learning will grow largely out of your work on your organizing project. Designing an organizing project depends on answering three questions: whom do you hope to organize, what problems do hope to enable them to solve, and how can you enable them to use their resources to solve that problem? And the success of your project will depend on your mastery of the five leadership practices guiding this course: building relationships, developing narrative, devising strategy, taking action, and creating structure.
