Abstract :
A leadership education program has been developed in post-war Kosovo, taking a non-formal approach; combining a broad range of ICT techniques with a constructivist pedagogy underpinning its design and implementation, based upon successes in developed nations. This paper outlines the development of the program, explores some of the cultural issues encountered, and considers how they are being addressed. It is proposed that cultural issues exist from multiple perspectives, and that all stakeholders need to address them.
