Program Description The Fulbright Seminar: Leadership for Sustainable Development is a short-term leadership workshop, focusing both on leadership training and on key environmental topics. This seminar is being offered to alumni of the Fulbright ecology and faculty development programs in areas related to ecology and the environment. The main purpose of the workshop is to increase both the skills and the subject-matter expertise of participants in a setting where they will learn with peers from 19 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. The academic program contains sessions on general leadership strategies and a range of specific leadership tools, such as negotiation, conflict resolution, and other topics that can be applied to sustainable development and the environment. The seminar will combine these sessions with a field trip where participants will have the opportunity to enhance their learning through direct observation of experiences in sustainable development. The seminar is funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State, the sponsor of the Fulbright Program. It is administered and organized by LASPAU: Academic and Professional Programs for the Americas and conducted by INCAE, Instituto Centroamericano de Administración y Empresas.
