This document outlines EP LEAD, a program to support the leadership development of exchange participants (EPs) through their exchange experience. The program has 3 stages - before departure, during the exchange abroad, and after returning. Before leaving, EPs attend an EP LEAD seminar to introduce the program. While abroad, EPs meet weekly with their EP manager and complete journaling and reflection activities. After returning, EPs attend a bringimpACT seminar. The goal is for EPs to learn about themselves through challenges to their values and realizing their passions.

experience of our exchange participants, and
let them realize the leadership learning and
growth derived from an exchange experience.
This is a support system for their inner and
outer journey.

7. EPs will go on a journey of leadership
development.
They are expected to go on a journey, which
will help them learn more about themselves,
challenge their values, realize who they really
are, what are they most passionate about and
what matters most in their lives.
