Apply for an all-expense paid leadership training in San Diego, USA(How to apply)
The Hansen Summer Institute on Leadership and International Cooperation is an exciting international program funded by a generous grant from the Fred J. Hansen Foundation. This Program provides a unique University-based leadership experience in international cooperation and will be held in July 2023 over a 3-week period in San Diego, California.
The Programme’s main objective is to establish an international community of young scholars who will use their summer experience as a springboard for forming lifelong bonds and gaining a shared understanding of the practical aspects of a more peaceful future.
Fellows receive practical instruction in teamwork, public speaking, negotiation, mediation, and cooperating to solve global issues. Additionally, they learn to actively listen, search for shared interests, and construct pragmatic collaboration bridges. Local excursions to San Diego attractions complement classroom instruction.
In order to hone their own concepts and abilities while learning about the “American Way of Life,” fellows interact with leaders in academia, politics, and business. Students leave San Diego with a “toolbox of leadership skills” that they can use effectively for their upcoming challenges and endeavours. Participants, who come from all over the world, form lifelong friendships and change the course of their futures for the better.
Every year, university students from the United States, developing nations and regions of conflict come together to learn about social entrepreneurship and conflict resolution from experts and one another.
