The Africentric Leadership and Management Summer Institute is a five day intensive cultural discovery designed to “foster and nurture excellence in leadership and management practices of African Canadian educators." Utilizing Africentric, values, principle and approaches as a philosophical and experiential framework, the Institute seeks to fill the gap between the theoretical study of Africentricity and the practical strategies of Africentricity. The desired outcome of the Institute is: to provide participants with the vision and skills necessary to exercise culturally competent and culturally-responsible leadership and management practices.

The Africentric Leadership & Management Summer Institute is intended for African Nova Scotian Educators, especially those working in the African Nova Scotian Education sector. Participants should have a minimum of two years experience in the education field. As well, demonstrated leadership and management experience, or the desire to aspire to leadership & management roles is an asset. Institute organizers will make every effort to ensure program participants reflect the geographic, gender, age, skill and experience diversity of the African Nova Scotian community. Class size will be limited to twenty (20) participants.
