Opportunity Details
The Global Citizen Scholarship Program empowers young, active global citizen leaders who are engaged for the SDGs and may otherwise not have access to valuable educational opportunities, networking experiences, and peer-to-peer exchange. The Scholarship includes the opportunity to attend a specialized academic training, join international fora, network with high-level changemakers, attend expert skills trainings and workshops and profit from peer-to-peer exchange specifically through a peer-to-peer mentoring component during the program.
This year, the Ban Ki-moon Centre will select 14 young African global citizen leaders who are passionate about advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They will be joined by three Management Center Innsbruck students, forming a cohort of 17 changemakers participating in this year's scholarship.
Scholars will attend the MC| Summer School on "Entrepreneurship for Sustainable Development" and additional special skills training with other entities and/or individuals. Above this, they will receive peer-to-peer mentoring from former BKMC Scholar Alumni and join the RELX Inspiration Day 2025. The selected scholars will also be responsible for proposing and implementing their own SD Micro-Project in their community during the scholarship period (April - December 2025). SDG Micro-Projects are localized projects addressing one or more of the SDGs in a local community and context.
