@louisesarahledjou
I coordinate global youth programmes, capacity building, and digital learning experiences across international networks.
What I'm looking for
I’ve coordinated global youth development programmes at the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, supporting Member Organisations, facilitators, training, reporting, and programme delivery across regions.
For the Free Being Me project, I coordinated quarterly reporting, online training, facilitator communities, funding calls, newsletters, monitoring tools, and programme materials. I also supported Global Advocacy Champions and regional facilitator training in Africa and the Arab region.
I bring a design and makerspace background through B.Sprout Lab, FabLab ArBA-EsA, Openfab, and technology training with Innoviris. I’ve designed workshops, prototypes, digital-fabrication learning experiences, and creative activities for young people.
I’ve also worked as a business analyst and Microsoft 365 digital coach, supporting cloud migrations, Teams Voice projects, and employee training. My work combines programme coordination, non-formal education, technology, and visual storytelling to strengthen youth leadership.
