CSO Program Across Kuwait
International Collective Action
Twice a year students are selected to go to Arizona and Washington, D.C. in the United States. In Arizona, 16 students from Kuwait attended the Leadership Training Institute, which forms the core of the Leadership Council. In Washington D.C., two Kuwaiti students attended the International Leadership Council. Through these experiences, CSOs learn about teamwork, the power of their collective voice, and the doors they can open by working together.
