Hariri Foundation and LAU sign leadership training deal

The Hariri Foundation and the Lebanese American University (LAU) signed an agreement to provide leadership training to students of the Hariri High School in Saida.

The Leadership and Constitution Education Academy (LCEA) will focus on training 25 students from the LAU, to enable them to train school students. The Outreach and Civic Engagement Department (OCEP) based in LAU will implement the program. Joseph Kanaan, OCEP Project Management Coordinator, said: “The purpose of this program is to develop the student’s capabilities in leadership and knowledge of the Constitution, to respect citizens, and to listen to others.”

LAU students will be training students from Grades 8, 10, and 12. About 100 students will be trained from each grade, for seven sessions, each for four hours.

The program will be financed by the Hariri Foundation and the LAU. The first training session will be held on March 15, and will be completed by end-April.
The program will be renewed yearly.
