What. |
|
A world-class leadership programme designed to unearth, inspire, and equip 30 ‘exceptional potential leaders’ under the age of 30.
6 half-day workshops delivered by internationally-renowned thinkers and leaders who will provide insight, inspiration and impetus allowing participants to return to their organisation, sector or area of interest and affect meaningful, planet-positive change.
Successful participants will receive copies of pivotal books and a ‘Change-Makers Playbook’ that will be invaluable as they become NI’s next generation of climate change-makers. This is in addition to cultivating a network of fellow future leaders across a range of professions and interest areas. At the end of the programme, the top 5 class members will receive a bursary to pursue their transformational project and 1 class member will receive a scholarship to attend the North American Association of Environmental Education (NAAEE) Conference.
The first 40 applications will secure a complimentary place at the Sustain Exchange Summit which will take place in-person in October 2024. This event will feature a world-class line up of speakers best-selling authors, global business leaders and internationally-renowned thought-leaders. The summit will provide ideas, inspiration and impetus as we strive to avert a catastrophe for our civilisation. It is the perfect launch pad for 30U30 participants and an exceptional piece of added value for the first 40 applicants.
