Explore the insightful Public Report of YMCA Europe’s Leadership Academy 2023 project, titled “Youth Impacts: Taking Action for Inclusive Communities and Civil Society Organisations Working with Refugees.”
This report (pdf version here) delves into the noteworthy achievements of this cohort, marked by two transformative residential sessions in Setubal, Portugal (17-22 April 2023) and Tbilisi, Georgia (31 October – 5 November 2023).
A total of 29 young leaders from 17 countries graduated, leading 16 impactful social projects that directly benefited over 700 individuals and indirectly touched the lives of more than 13,800 people.
The “Leadership Academy” Project within YMCA Europe serves as a dynamic tool to foster the talents and skills of young leaders across YMCA National Movements.
Our goal is to empower young individuals, providing them with essential knowledge to thrive as active citizens, drive social change, and fortify their movements as champions of democratic values and change-makers.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to European YMCAs for their outstanding nominations of young leaders, and acknowledge the European Youth Foundation as the pivotal donor supporting the course’s success!
