Commonwealth100 Online Leadership Development Programme 2019 for young people from Commonwealth Countries

Application Deadline: Ongoing

Commonwealth100 is open to young leaders who are from a Commonwealth country, or who currently live, work or study in a Commonwealth country.

Commonwealth100 is open to young people, aged 18+, from across the Commonwealth. You may be at the beginning of your career or in Higher or Further Education.

Commonwealth100 programme outcomes:

• Produce a more socially conscious generation of leaders
• Create a network of young leaders in touch with each other
• Foster current and future global partnerships between young leaders
• Frame a fresh, bold, principled, networked Commonwealth of the future

Many young people today recognize that we need a new approach to leadership. That’s why we worked with over 1,000 young leaders to discover the skills we need when Commonwealth celebrates its centenary in 2031.

Using an online platform, you will hear stories from senior and emerging leaders who have had to lead complex change.

You will take part in interactive exercises and discussions with peers from across the Commonwealth. And you will read compelling articles, which explore the skills you need to be successful in the 21^st century.

All participants who complete the programme will receive the Open Source Leadership Badge, which can be used as a record of your achievement on your CV or online profiles.

Where?

The programme is hosted online.

When?

Though the course originally ran in three-week-long cohorts, starting in 2019 it will run in seven-week-long cohorts. It takes between three to six hours to complete the course, which can be done flexibly over the cohort period. The course dates for 2019 are:

• 4 January – 22 February

This will continue to run in a similar pattern through 2020.
