ImpactLeader launches book on Women's Day

Our Inclusion Leader, Noorzia Afridi is launching her first book  'The power is YOU, An odyssey towards self-empowerment'  on March 8th, not accidentally International Women's Day. Noorzia is a Human Rights Activist from Pakistan and worked together with our International Leader Saskia Harkema to write down her life story.  The book shares the life story of Noorzia Afridi who comes from a remote tribal area in Pakistan, next to the border of Afghanistan. There she fought for her right to an education, which is denied to women. She also was forced to marry as a child, which she refused. In 2008 she set up a foundation, SAWERA, to fight for women's empowerment. She has won many prizes for her work.

With the lotus flower as a metaphor, they describe the odysse...

Empowering Leaders: ETAM Akademi’s Innovative Online TTT Program

  We are thrilled to announce the launch of our transformative online Train-The-Trainers (TTT) program, ‘Educating ImpactLeaders and Peacebuilders,’ in collaboration with ETAM Akademi from Turkey.

These are challenging times, but together, we can build a brighter future. ImpactLeaders International has joined forces with three incredible partners – Changemakers4All (North Macedonia), GLOCA (Turkey), and stichting International Youth Bridges (Netherlands) – to create FRINGE2ACT, a program designed to mobilize European youth and empower them to build a more sustainable and inclusive world.

We're committed to developing impactful interventions that resonate with both marginalized youth and the broader community. By leveraging the Erasmus+ Impact Tool , we've crafted a unique engagement mod...
