Q: What is your biggest takeaway/learning during this trip?
A: My biggest takeaway from this trip to Sangam, India, was understanding the WAGGGS Leadership
Mindsets and putting them into practice during both the Wadi and Pune Challenges that the
facilitator planned for us and in my life today. I’ve also learnt so much more about gender equality
through activities like the trivia quiz. This awareness reminds me of how much I still do not know
and how much more I have to learn.

Q: Were there any challenges you faced during this trip?
A: The challenging moments that I faced during this trip was probably getting into character for the
various role-playing scenarios that we had to do. And climbing the Sangam water tower was
challenging as well as it was about 3 storeys high and we had to climb it without ropes.

Q: How do you think this trip may have changed your views on leadership practices & mindsets?
A: I felt that my perspective on leadership mindsets had changed and that I can finally put a name to
the actions that I’ve been practising for the last few years. Because of that, my awareness and
understanding of Gender Equality, Responsible Action and Creative & Critical Thinking Mindset
thinking had heightened as well.
