The workshop was attended by a number of An-Najah's female staff and was held at the Faculty of Science conference room in the New Campus.

The workshop included three main themes. The first theme included an introduction to leadership models of Arab women, reasons behind the success of Arab women as leaders, the factors that contribute to this success and the characteristics women must have for a successful leader as well as the community values regarding women's leadership.

The second theme was about whether there is a difference between men and women leadership and the reasons behind this difference.

The third theme tackled models of social interactions and the models of women as individuals and how women classify other people.

The workshop also included presentations on success stories of Arab women leaders.
