How to prepare for a Virtual Retreat

Personal Retreat 2021

Meet the Speakers

Personal Leadership Symposium by Margriet Krijtenburg, Personal Leadership Moderator; European Studies Programme, The Hague University of Applied Sciences

Do you want to be more “in the lead” of your life? Looking for your purpose in and your contribution to a better world? Then sign up for the Personal Leadership Symposium!

Be someone who gives direction to his or her life in a meaningful way and who can deal with societal issues. Meet new people plus learn more about leadership as serving others and making a valuable contribution to a better world.

Niko Schonebaum, teacher of rhetoric and philosophy at the Landmerk Foundation, provides the means to develop into happy people with a clear understanding of reality, a balanced character and a strong ambition to use your talents and skills for noble purposes. 

The seminar “Lead by example” will kick off with a general session. The goal is to learn something from two archetypical leaders from history: Socrates, who leads by rationality, and St. Paul, who leads by faith and hope. After the general session participants will be given a small assignment in which they apply acquired insight to a concrete case. The assignment will be either to give a speech or to write a letter. At the end of the seminar we will listen to several of the assignments and share feedback and insights.

The Landmerk Foundation offers education to young people that is based on a sincere and optimistic vision of the person and is aimed at broad and deep intellectual growth. In terms of content, it’s all about the big questions and it usually takes the form of practice in correct and clear reasoning, speaking and writing.
