<\/a><\/p>\nHomeward Bound<\/a> is a ground-breaking leadership initiative, set against the backdrop of Antarctica, which aims to heighten the influence and impact of women in making decisions that shape our planet.<\/p>\n It was (literally) the dream of Fabian Dattner<\/a> (Australian leadership activist and consultant), who in collaboration with Antarctic marine scientist Jess-Melbourne Thomas<\/a>, initially made Homeward Bound a reality. Together, they garnered the support of significant scientific bodies and women of influence, created a strong leadership team<\/a> and teaching faculty and got the project off the ground. In 2015, the project went viral and the first leadership program and Antarctic voyage took place in 2016.
