Leadership, women’s political participation and public speaking skills in focus of OSCE-supported webinar in Kazakhstan

The OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan, in co-operation with the National Commission for Women, Family and Demographic Policy under the President of Kazakhstan, the UN Women Office in Kazakhstan, and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR)  organized an online event for women politicians and those that aspire to become politically active, from 16 to 19 September 2020.

The seminar was designed to broaden participants’ understanding of the key components of leadership, the tools and strategies of effective political campaigns, as well as to develop and practice skills in public speaking and effective communication. Forty-eight women representatives from political parties, academia, business and civil society organizations participated.

This event will be followed by a four-day module in Kazakh language for Kazakh speaking participants scheduled for 23- 26 September.
