SLE TRAINING - Training for International Experts and Leaders

We are firmly convinced that sustainable development is a global responsibility requiring transformation. Our role in this mission is to provide ongoing training for international experts from all over the globe. By bringing experts together from different cultures, backgrounds and professions, SLE TRAINING programmes foster an intercultural and interdisciplinary approach. We view co-learning and participation as key components for sustainable development. We cover technical, methodological and management-oriented training areas. Whether management of development projects, sustainable resource management, climate change adaptation, biodiversity or conflict management, SLE offers the ideal training course for experts in international cooperation.
