A LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCE

At GSL we get to meet lifelong friends. Everyone is like minded so it is a very safe environment to be open and truly be yourself.

I learnt to be authentic. Be true to yourself and your values and that young individuals can make a difference.

I feel equipped with the tools I need to deliver a social action project.

Wellington College

Wellington College is a British co-educational boarding and day independent school in the village of Crowthorne, Berkshire. Wellington is a registered charity and currently has about 1,050 pupils aged between 13 and 18. It was built as a national monument to the first Duke of Wellington (1769–1852), after whom the College is named. Her Majesty Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone in 1856 and inaugurated the School’s public opening on 29 January 1859. The college was designed by John Shaw, Jr., who had also previously worked as an architect for Eton College.

Wellington College stands on a 400-acre (estate in South-East England, near Reading, Berkshire. The grounds of the college include a golf course and woodland in addition to playing fields. The woodland area of the college is listed as a local nature reserve called Edgbarrow Woods.

Global Social Leaders are proud to partner with and host our annual 1-day conference and the 12-day World Summit at Wellington College.  We partner with the Wellington Leadership Institute, to design and deliver our programmes.
