Global Leader Experience - Online
What if the world's greatest challenges were in your hands?
Update:
The International Leadership programme was originally due to run as an in-person programme in Madrid in June 2020. Due to the ongoing uncertainty around international travel, we have decided to replace it with the Global Leader Experience - Online for 2021. We hope to return to in-person international programmes in 2022.

What you'll be doing
The Global Leader Experience, from Common Purpose, takes place across four half-days online, each involving up to four hours of engagement. Working with students from University of Bristol, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and other partner institutions in Asia and Australia, you will play a part in tackling the biggest issues facing businesses, governments and societies today.
You will explore a major world challenge 'How can we ensure our cities are resilient and inclusive?' from a global perspective. Working in teams you will be tasked with designing an innovative solution to the challenge. To help you explore the challenge, you break into small groups to visit (virtually) organisations from across the world who are closey connnected to the challenge. Hearing from the leaders of these organisations will provide you with vital insight to feed back to your group and help you develop your solution.
Interactive sessions will challenge you to work effectively with difference and grow your skills as an inclusive leader.
