Who Should Apply

Background
Youths possess energy, enthusiasm, morality and drive to contribute to the development of society. Many young adults in Africa want to make a difference, but they often feel powerless and lack opportunity to contribute. They complain that formal education rarely prepares them to see the global picture; where they fit in, and how they can become instruments of social-political and socio-economic change in their world.
GCLP
Global Citizenship and Leadership Program – GCLP – is an integrated educational leadership program that prepares youths for the challenges of leadership in an increasingly globalized world. GCLP helps participants to build a set of core assets and competencies to enable them function effectively as global citizens.
Over a period of one year, students in GCLP are engaged in lectures, research, educational visits and problem solving activities and volunteer work.
GCLP is predicated on three principles
Critical/systems thinking
Moral Reasoning
Individual/collective responsibility for global change
The Mission of GCLP is to answer four questions
- How youths develop a holistic thinking capacity necessary to understanding the intricacies of world affairs?
- How can we use leadership education to create a new set of leaders concerned about moral and ethical issues?
- How can Africa’s youths become instruments of social change especially in preventing conflicts and political corruption?
- How can youths be motivated to take local actions that promote global citizenship beginning from their immediate environments?
