The foundational course work in brain science is supported by development from the faculty of the NeuroLeadership Institute, Drs Dan Radecki, Golnaz Tabibnia and Stephen Thomas. The programme will be presented by local African lecturers who are experts in relevant neuroscience fields.

These action learning segments may be applied across a variety of realms such as corporations, consultancies or coaching practices, public sector practices, community programmes and educational settings.
