Chitkara University has concluded the first edition of the amplify leadership series, a three-day residential faculty development programme for school and college educators. Held in Chitkara University, Punjab campus and built around the theme ‘empowering educators for a changing world,’ the amplify leadership series brought together around 300 faculty members, principals and academic leaders for three days of structured learning, collaboration and exchange.
Delegates travelled from across India, with several joining from as far as Kuwait, making it one of the first faculty development initiatives of its scale and ambition in the region. “Educators spend their working lives developing others, and they rarely get a programme built entirely around their own growth,” said Madhu Chitkara, president and co-founder, Chitkara University.
“Amplify was created to give them that space, to think, to question and to lead. The response from this first edition tells us how much, a platform like this was needed and we intend to keep building on it,” said Sandhir Sharma, vice chancellor, Chitkara University. The opening ceremony featured a live performance by the Swastik Band, setting the tone for the days that followed. At the heart of the programme were six masterclasses organised around three themes.
