My name is Sawsan Raslan and I am a young Syrian activist, enthusiast and explorer. I joined the Caux family during 2016 and found myself wanting to be involved in everything IofC has to offer. I have a certificate in facilitating dialogue groups from Erasmus. I am really excited about the Creative Leadership conference and hope you are too!
Zeinab Dilati, aka Zee, is a feminist activist, a maths teacher and a mentor. She has been part of the CPLP faculty team for the past two years. She considers Caux as one of the best places in the world to provide a safe space for people from different backgrounds to share, listen and eventually understand and learn more about each other. She believes that the key to becoming a great leader is empathy and taking the initiative whether on a personal level or in the world around us.

My name is Amy Randles, I’m 20 and I’m an international development student from near Liverpool, England. This will be my third, although quite unusual, year doing something with Caux. I’ve been both a Young Ambassador (YAP), and a YAP facilitator. My favourite part of Caux is meeting new people and hearing their stories in group discussions and Human Library events. I’m interested in working in the charity sector, so I’m looking forward to learning leadership skills from participants. I really hope that you all enjoy this year’s conference!
