Youth, Women & Society

We are at a crucial crossroads in global education. More young people than ever are growing up in an interconnected world, but many lack the opportunity to develop the cross-cultural understanding and leadership skills essential for success in it. Meanwhile, pressing challenges like environmental stewardship, social justice, good governance, and innovation require global cooperation, calling for leaders who can step up with compassion, knowledge, and determination.

The ACPiL Youth Leadership Program is a unique initiative aimed at equipping Canadian and African youth for future roles in a globalized world. It connects participants with the rich cultures, histories, and social dynamics of African countries and Canada. The Africa edition of the program offers young Canadians a unique chance to gain insights into African viewpoints on critical global issues while cultivating leadership skills rooted in understanding, empathy, and collaboration. Meanwhile, the Canada edition provides young Africans with an opportunity to explore Canadian society, innovation, and shared challenges, fostering the leadership skills and cross-cultural understanding needed to navigate our interconnected world.
