Leadership in the FK Youth Programme a study of how the leadership component affects participants, partners and communities

The Fredskorpset(FK) Youth Programme aims at developing young leaders to take responsibility and create positive change in their lives and their communities. By giving young people in Norway and in developing countries the opportunity to experience each other’s realities, FK believes that the world becomes a little more just when people get to know each another and create values together. FK Youth Programme’s main method of reaching these goals is to develop the participants’ leadership skills, in order to equip them as change agents. This study has explored the leadership component of the FK Youth Programme and analysed how the component in fact affects – or may affect – people, organizations and communities, and thus contribute to positive changes
