At Young Global Leaders, we uphold a set of values that permeate every facet of our program. Here, campers delve into an immersive environment where they explore, question and analyze the world around them. Through dynamic forums for debate and discussion, we prioritize empathy and understanding, fostering an atmosphere where diverse perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.
Our approach is founded on the belief that the ability to challenge our own viewpoints and engage constructively with differing opinions is indispensable in the 21st century. By encouraging campers to question assumptions and engage in dialogue with those holding different perspectives, we aim to cultivate critical thinking skills and deepen self-awareness. Moreover, this promotes a nuanced and empathetic approach to complex topics, preparing campers to navigate a world rich in diversity and complexity.
This philosophy serves as the bedrock of our Young Global Leaders program and is integral to our morning sessions, where campers engage in thought-provoking discussions and exercises designed to hone their critical thinking abilities.
