A personal and professional development program for women seeking an immersive international experience into the traditions, leadership, and challenges of the country of cultural heritage. As female leadership grows, Heritage aims to be a platform where women can grow their international collaboration while reflecting on their identity. The program was developed in response to two main interests: 1) womens’ desire to explore, discover, and regain their cultural identity, and 2) womens’ interest to enhance cultural understanding to become better resource providers to the communities they serve.
Through honest discussions with women leaders at all levels, Heritage introduces participants to traditions, cultural norms, governmental structures, leadership practices, and current challenges faced by women of the host country.
Inspired By
The inspiration for this program came from women in leadership positions of various fields who saw the importance of enhancing success through the recognition of cultural identity and connection to other women. Heritage uses self-discovery as its focus to encourage the exploration of cultural traditions, global connections, women leadership, ancestral history to enhance the understanding of self. Heritage encourages you to stop theorizing about who you are and instead inspire you to go out and discover it.
THE VISION
To guide women through the journey of self-discovery. To provide resources and global connections that can help in acquiring and administering the tools needed to lead in any profession using ancestral heritage as an asset.
