ONE TO ONE FUTURE LEADERS PROGRAMME

In partnership with CIRCL

LEADERSHIP PROGRAMMES FOR WORLD CHANGERS FROM REFUGEE & ASYLUM SEEKER BACKGROUNDS

Last year marked a remarkable year for Future Leaders, deeply impacting the young individuals involved in our programmes. We work towards empowering these young people, many of whom seek sanctuary in the UK, to reach their full potential and contribute positively to their communities.

As we move into the next programme year, we aim to expand our programmes to reach more young people, given the evident demand – we received nearly 150 applications for just 30 slots this year. In the coming year, we'll conduct four cohorts and aspire to leverage the experiences of our alumni to further drive this mission.

PROGRAMMES

This year, we conducted two leadership cohorts along with various alumni events. Our programme, comprising nine expert-led modules, covers topics like employability skills, creative writing, confidence building, and communication. Our objective is to unlock and develop each participant's inner potential. Along with the workshops, students undertake readings and assignments and receive a Certificate in Professional Leadership through the CIRCL coaching programme.

We incorporate lived experiences into our approach by recruiting our programme graduates as interns. They assist in managing the programme and contribute insights for our direction and strategy.
