"The program description is exactly what you get. Reading is on point, not too much, and needed. I loved the artifacts and collaboration with peers."

"The PALME program is unique as it brings together educators and experiences from all across Qatar Foundation.  Each school has different leaders, teachers, staff and students and bringing these experiences together helps the cohort build a wealth of knowledge to reflect on as they move forward in their journey.  Each session, PALME builds on the previous information presented, facilitates and encourages open discussion about challenges each peer is facing, and provides real-world scenarios to dissect and reflect on.  For an aspiring leader, the ability to grow is outstanding and it is highly recommended to complete this course."
