Building humans is the fundamental cornerstone for achieving the cultural advancement of societies and nations. While various natural resources, despite their preciousness, can be imported, the positive and active citizen is the only resource whose prosperity and development cannot be achieved except by qualifying them to contribute to the renaissance of their nation and the realization of human development. Qualifying community leaders in various fields is a fundamental condition for strategic planning and effective management of change projects in accordance with governance standards.
The field of training competencies and preparing individuals and leaders has witnessed growing interest. Leadership training institutions have flourished, and training courses have received significant demand, which is a positive indicator of awareness regarding the importance of preparing community leaders.
Despite all this, the question of the effectiveness of these training systems and their real impact continues to occupy the attention of researchers and stakeholders, especially the institutions benefiting from or supporting these training courses.
Some questions have arisen, such as: To what extent are governance standards respected in this field?
Do leadership training institutions and their frameworks and staff have accredited methodologies for measuring the real impact of their training actions and their effectiveness in enhancing the performance of the beneficiary groups?
The international models in this field are rich with theories, approaches, and methodologies that have proven their effectiveness. However, the question here is: How can we draw inspiration from their strengths and benefit from them? Are there critical studies of these experiences to identify the points of benefit and effectively utilize their methodologies and approaches?
Since cultural advancement is only achieved through considering the contextual discourse of each nation, what qualitative contribution can the civilizational vision of the region offer to benefit from human experience in this field and present its distinguished model?
If the visionary and values-based approach holds significance in the effectiveness of leadership training, then establishing a pioneering model in leadership development requires a description of the core competencies that enable a leadership personality to engage strategically at the communicative, managerial, and decision-making levels. This necessitates identifying appropriate training methodologies for acquiring these competencies. What are these core competencies? And what are the methods of training on them and integrating their requirements into training practice to achieve leadership excellence? The symposium's coordinated perspective seeks to address these previous challenges, then reframe them according to a new vision that contributes to establishing an innovative approach in leadership development. This holistic approach invokes both the values and cultural dimensions and seeks to draw inspiration from the outcomes of international experiences in the field. It is based on a philosophy of development aimed at embodying a comprehensive guide that aims to streamline leadership development practices, institutions, and staff, achieving high-quality outputs according to international standards.
To achieve these objectives, the conference's scientific committee has worked on developing precise axes and recruiting international experts, thinkers, and academics from around the world, as well as specialized researchers in their fields, to present their perspectives and approaches within the conference sessions through academic papers that combine academic depth and methodological rigour that aligns with the nature of the conference's theme and scope. Furthermore, each scientific session will conclude with analytical readings of its papers by specialized analysts, providing an opportunity for the specialized and qualitative audience attending the conference to contribute to enriching the discussion in addressing the conference's problematics.
Additionally, specialized scientific workshops will be organized during the conference as complementary sessions to the conference proceedings, aiming to establish a strategic framework for activating the conference's outcomes and implementing its recommendations.
And the conference concludes with the issuance of:
