Leading The Pacific Scholarship

Are you a young leader from The Pacific? You could attend the Global Young Summit 2021 Summit in Munich from 11 - 14 October through our flagship Scholarship.
About the Leading The Pacific Scholarship:

The Leading The Pacific Scholarship is an initiative designed to ensure that outstanding young people from the Pacific region are represented at the Global Young Leaders Summit 2021 in Munich.Across the entire Pacific region, environmental issues dominate the agenda. Locally, communities are struggling against challenges of waste management, deforestation, overfishing, and the after-effects of nuclear testing. These threats will soon render many of the Pacific Islands uninhabitable, but the regions receive negligible coverage in the global news. Leaders have struggled to connect this diverse collection of islands, but Pacific societies have prospered within their remote locations and have the potential to unite and drive change within the region.In the midst of these challenges, it is young leaders who are devising meaningful strategies to build a more sustainable region. Are you one of those leaders? If so, Global Young Leaders is looking to bring you to the next annual Summit.

I learned from thousands of young people who are bringing change to their communities. The Summit encouraged me to take action and be the change I want to see in my community and country.
