Mga Kababayan,

The Philippine Embassy in The Hague is pleased to announce that it is once again supporting the Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (LSE) Training Program for Filipinos in the Netherlands.  The program will run from 1 March to 5 July 2015 and will be held at the Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in Den Haag. Registration for the 2015 program is now open.

Leadership and social entrepreneurship are the two cornerstones of an empowerment program for Filipino migrants and overseas workers offered by the Ateneo School of Government (ASOG). The LSE Program strives to empower people by honing not only their entrepreneurial acumen but also nurturing within them a conscious choice for community-building.

The LSE program has been conducted in major cities in the world, including Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Dubai, Paris, Brussels and the Netherlands.  It has produced a total of 800 graduates since 2008.

The first LSE Netherlands program was launched in September 2013 with the support of the Philippine Embassy, the Stichting voor Stad en Kerk (STEK), Het Wereldhuis Den Haag, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Forty-one (41) students completed the course and graduated in April 2014. This year, the LSE is being supported by the ISS and the IOM.

The LSE sessions focus on areas such as leadership, financial literacy, social entrepreneurship, business plan development and presentation. Thus, those who desire to improve their financial security, or want to run businesses that are not only financially sound but also beneficial for the greater good of the community are invited to consider taking up the course. This also applies to those who wish to improve their leadership skills and become agents of positive transformation in their communities.
