Programme

Global Social Leaders (GSL) Catalyst is a unique intensive leadership course, designed to develop your leadership skills and your understanding of global issues enabling you to plan a project and become a leader in your life and society.

GSL is a transformational leadership experience developed by Future Foundations and the Wellington Leadership Institute that brings together young people from across the world who are driven to make social change on a global scale.

The ultimate goals of the GSL programme are to:

  • Develop leadership skills
  • Nurture confidence
  • Empower the participants to go on to lead successful projects at their own school

The programme will aim to develop each participant’s personal understanding of different leadership styles, and how to show leadership for oneself, in school, and in the community.

Participants will develop their understanding of the global challenges we face and how, through partnership and innovation, we can solve them. They will be taken through real life cases to demonstrate good project management and how to create their own impactful projects to take on after the programme ends.

In December 2017 UAMO are running a GSL Catalyst programme in the United Kingdom for students aged from 14 to 17.  In exceptional circumstances we may consider students aged slightly younger or in their final year of school.

In February 2018 UAMO are running a GSL Catalyst programme in the UAE for students aged 12 to 17.
