PUBLIC LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY
What is it?
A space for public-sector leaders to connect, learn from one another, and collaborate on real-world challenges. Members share experiences and practical solutions, strengthening both current and future leaders in public management.
The community is guided by ethical leadership, peer collaboration, and a commitment to public impact, with students at the center and equity as a guiding principle.
Who is it for?
Ensina Brasil alumni who work, or aspire to work, in the public sector and want to expand their impact through collaboration, continuous learning, and collective action.
LEADERSHIP RESIDENCY
The Leadership Residency connects Ensina Brasil alumni with partner organizations in education and social impact for short-term projects lasting four to twelve weeks. Participants lead projects in areas such as strategic planning, innovation, public policy, sustainability, institutional communications, and leadership development.
More than a temporary assignment, the Residency gives alumni the opportunity to apply their experience in new contexts, expand their professional networks, and explore career paths. Partner organizations, in turn, gain access to professionals with experience in public education, project management, and social impact.
