Talitha Kum Leadership Training Course

ABOUT THE COURSE

The Talitha Kum Leadership Training Course, launched in 2019, is an annual global formation program designed to prepare leaders within the Talitha Kum network to combat human trafficking effectively and to continue the formation of Talitha Kum members in leadership service. Organized in collaboration with Talitha Kum International, the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross (Rome), and Tangaza University College (Nairobi), and previously with the Pontifical University Antonianum (Rome), the course aims to support leaders to drive systemic change in the fight against human trafficking.

As part of Talitha Kum’s commitment to implementing the priorities declared during the Talitha Kum Second General Assembly, the course responds to the call for deeper formation, stronger collaboration, and more effective leadership across the network. Rooted in the Gospel and Catholic Social Teaching, the course integrates theological reflection with practical, and relational skills through a thematic, hands-on approach delivered in a hybrid format of face-to-face and online learning.

Emphasizing a learning-by-doing approach, the course incorporates thematic content such as leadership models and spirituality, emerging issues in human trafficking, communication, project planning and development, safeguarding, networking, and advocacy. A key component is the Group Project Work, where participants collaboratively design and implement initiatives aligned with Talitha Kum’s mission—focusing on prevention, protection, and advocacy— strengthening both local and global collaboration.

This training continues to build a worldwide network of skilled, compassionate leaders dedicated to ending human trafficking and promoting human dignity.
