Amman: The Independent Election Commission (IEC) on Saturday launched a workshop focused on empowering women for political leadership and participation, drawing female leaders from various political parties.
According to Jordan News Agency, the workshop is organized in collaboration with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation and marks the initial phase of a program aimed at women leaders from political parties in the northern and central regions of the Kingdom.
The three-day workshop is designed to bolster the capacities of political parties and empower women to assume effective leadership roles within the political arena, as stated by the IEC. The training, led by international expert Mohsen Al-Marzouq, encompasses a variety of advanced topics such as developing political narratives, transforming personal experiences into influential tools, media training, public speaking, and building both political and personal identity.
The workshop also delves into managing digital reputation, enhancing public presence, and the significance of appearance, body language, and nonverbal communication within a political context. It further explores strategies to expand influence through networking, methods for women to access leadership positions, distinguishing between formal and informal power, decision-making processes, and influence networks. Additionally, it covers strategies for managing election campaigns and forming alliances.
Participants engage in discussion sessions and practical exercises, with an emphasis on developing action plans to follow up on the training outcomes. This initiative aims to enhance women’s participation in political and party life throughout the Kingdom.
