University of Missouri Extension Community Development Program

Global Leadership Education

Global Leadership EducationGlobal Leadership Education (GLE) is a program devoted to building the leadership capacity of community members, community leaders and professionals in a number of sectors—government, education, civic and business, religious, non-profits and others.  Since 1990, the University of Missouri has collaborated with the Community Development Department (CDD) of the Royal Thai Government to carry out an exchange program that builds mutual understanding and contributes to collaborative learning between the people of Missouri and Thailand.   This program has connections that extend back to the 1960’s when numerous graduate students studied community development and related disciplines at the University of Missouri.  In the decades that followed, professors and administrators from the University participated in exchanges and shared training programs for educators and community development professionals in Thailand.
