The MINAB is launching a Next Generation Programme in East London – to build a “stronger community network”- to enhance social action in local communities by supporting mosques and imams to strengthen social integration and community programmes.
We are recruiting 20 young leaders aged 18-30 years old from across East London to join the Building Stronger Communities Challenge – Increasing the involvement of young leaders in mosques and community programmes through personal development.
This certified Personal Development Programme (PDP) works to inspire, motivate and equip participants to engage and lead effectively in our modern world, building on their traditions while moving forward in a contemporary context. A cornerstone of personal development and the biggest block to leadership is the ‘self’, and how we communicate and engage others. Spaces are limited on the programme.
