SI Leader Lab* is a leadership programme where participants get to explore leadership skills and effective advocacy methods. Arranged by the Swedish Institute, the event bring prominent civil society leaders together – from 15 countries in Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa.

At the mingle you will meet with these leaders, who are playing a key role in defending the democratic space and working for human rights and equality in their countries.  

Thanks to a collaboration with Artten Gallery, you will also be able to contribute to a collaborative artwork in the form of a ribbon for peace and freedom – and share your favorite apple pie recipe. This is part of an ongoing project to unite, strengthen, and heal the shared experiences of displaced people.**  

There will also be opportunities to meet with representatives from the Swedish Institute to find out more about the various offers, including leadership programmes and grants with funding for cooperation between Swedish organisations and international counterparts.
