MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
ARE YOU READY TO LEAD?
JANUARY 3- 9, 2010
U.N. MANDATED UNIVERSITY FOR PEACE
CIUDAD COLON, COSTA RICA
Special One Week Intensive · $1950pp complete
A FRIENDSHIP AMBASSADORS FOUNDATION GLOBAL LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE ADVANCING THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS IN COOPERATION WITH THE U.N. MANDATED UNIVERSITY FOR PEACE
The Millennium Development Leadership Programme will provide you with the skills and knowledge to start and lead projects related to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
This intensive certificate programme will be hosted on the campus of the UN University for Peace located in the mountains of Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica.
Partial scholarships available upon request after acceptance by application, which is available at www.faf.org.
SPECIAL OFFER: DUE TO EARLY SPRING ACADEMIC CALENDARS, A ONE WEEK MDLP PROGRAMME IS NOW AVAILABLE: January 3 - 9, 2010
After numerous requests from university faculty concerning their Spring 2010 academic calendar return dates, the MDLP is now available for one week.
The course will approximate the intensive training period related to the Youth Assembly at the United Nations in past years.
Experienced professionals and practitioners in the field with a record of success will conduct and facilitate the certificate program.
The Programme will enable young professionals to learn, network and build on their capacity. The MDLP is limited to 40 participants with a demonstrated interest in international development or relevant work experience.
"Thanks to FAF and the projects I worked on, including the conference at the U.N., I was able to become one of the best students in my generation at home, and I found a job thanks to those experiences in the government of the Republic of Macedonia. I personally think that FAF's vision is common with President Obama's plan for resolving many global issues: President Obama wants to invest in education and health, where the results can only be seen after a longer period of time. With FAF, it is the same: the strongest results will only be witnessed after some time. I am an example of that success. Thank you, Friendship Ambassadors Foundation."

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
(Above, Sculptures on the UPEACE campus)
Coursework and Faculty
Join respected internationally recognized faculty from the UN-Mandated University for Peace and NGO specialists from around the world. Visit actual NGO field projects during the course and live in an eco-style hostel during your stay.
WHAT IS CASE STUDY ANALYSIS? Case study analysis is an effective way for professionals to develop the critical thinking skills needed to effectively manage organizations and programs.
Unlike lectures or materials presented solely in written format, case studies present a narrative overview of the events that have occurred at a particular NGO in Costa Rica (which you will visit during the course).
Analysis of the steps other leaders have taken to address specific problems and issues will give you the opportunity to learn about the challenges you may encounter.
Your problem solving skills will be cultivated as you engage in a team-based critique of existing projects.

MDLP: A NEW PARTNERSHIP
UPEACE AND FAF: Practical Skills in a Very Special Location
The University for Peace (www.upeace.org) is the only university in the United Nations system authorized to offer academic degrees in the field of peace and conflict studies. Nine master's programmes offer specialized, multi-disciplinary courses and our international faculty use engaging and participatory teaching models for classroom instruction. Advanced students and young professionals from around the world attend the University.
The campus is located 30 km southwest of the capital San Jose, in Ciudad Colon, Costa Rica, within a natural reserve composed of a secondary forest and the last remnant of primary forest (1,200 ha) in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Hence, this protected area is very rich in fauna. It shelters mammals such as monkeys, deer, and reptiles; and over 300 species of birds as well as approximately 100 varieties of trees. The University's installations and protected area make up 303 ha.
