Advancing Together: Empowering Diverse Leadership in Public Policy

The Advancing Together: Empowering Diverse Leadership in Public Policy program invites participants to advance together by challenging existing paradigms, embracing innovative approaches, and reimagining the future of public policy. The program will create an inclusive and dynamic environment that allows emerging leaders to share their thinking on how the most important challenges within the field of public policy should be tackled. By showcasing the innovative ideas of these emerging leaders, we can advance towards a more equitable, inclusive, and impactful future of public policy.

The program is dedicated to fostering international, interdisciplinary, and intergenerational exchange by bringing together a vibrant community of emerging and established leaders, and change-makers, working in the field public policy in government, the private sector and in civil society.  

Through a series of engaging workshops, thought-provoking panel discussions, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, participants will gain valuable insights, knowledge, and skills necessary to navigate the intricacies of a career in public policy. The program will facilitate peer learning, mentorship, and collaboration, creating a supportive community that encourages the exchange of ideas and experiences.

During the Public Policy Challenge Fellows will work together in small groups to identify solutions to critical issues in public policy. They will develop innovative policy recommendations to address social, economic, environmental, technological, and political challenges. These emerging leaders will showcase their ideas through presentations and thought pieces, making a lasting impact.
