An event by Sangam

What you’ll do

Discover the leader within at Leaders Today, an event designed to enable you to expand your potential and embrace the magic of the Sangam. Throughout the event, you will engage in various hands-on sessions and learn about the WAGGGS Leadership Model, which will allow you to explore different aspects of leadership in more depth. You will also have the necessary quiet space to relax and reflect on your experience.

During your stay, you will immerse yourself in the vibrant heart of Pune, experiencing the perfect harmony of community service and cultural celebration. You will have the unique opportunity to work on, and take the lead in delivering, short but impactful activities for some of Sangam's community partners, gaining a grounded perspective on leadership in action. Between the colourful sights of the local markets, the flavours of authentic Indian cuisine and the spirit of Sangam's traditions, you will develop a profound appreciation of Indian culture and evolve into a more conscious, globally minded leader.

This is a Sangam LEADERSHIP event.

The Sangam Experience

The core of the Sangam experience is built around active participation, community, and cultural discovery. This event incorporates various engaging sessions and activities designed to build confidence and encourage participants to feel at ease outside their comfort zone. This is balanced with deep cultural immersion, where participants learn about Indian traditions, culture and cuisine while exploring the vibrant streets of Pune.

World Centres Immersion

World Centres are vibrant hubs where Girl Guides, Girl Scouts and people from different backgrounds and cultures come together to connect, learn and feel empowered to build their agency. Offering adventure and international experiences, World Centres are primarily 'brave spaces' for leadership development, providing transformative experiences that break down cultural barriers and encourage personal connections.

Community Interaction

Sangam currently works with over 20 community partners which include local NGOs addressing a wide range of social issues, as well as local Guiding and Scouting units and schools in Pune. During this event, there will be an opportunity to interact with them in a reciprocal approach, either through a short observational visit or a few-hour engagement, or through one or more days of community action projects.
