The Secretary General of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), Ahmad Alhendawi, joins Alberto Lidji as the 100-day countdown starts to Word Scouting’s general assembly in August 2024; bringing together members from 174 countries as they launch their new global strategy for the next 10 years; unveiling a refreshed brand, and leveraging their collective strength to tackle the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
World Scouting has 5 million volunteers globally and has been around for more than 100 years. Their new strategy takes a bold stand and champions key aspirations, including empowering youth to take on a more active leadership role, tackling climate and the global sustainability agenda, and committing to peace, inclusivity and dialogue.
We take a look at the challenges of managing both a global organization and a global movement; the importance of non-formal education; and the power of millions of scouts to tackle some of our world’s most pressing problems.
This is an inspiring episode showcasing how a global movement can make a positive impact and help achieve the SDGs.
