GPODS Fellowship
GPODS Fellowship | Few Days to go!
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR THE FALL COHORT 2021 !!
Ever wondered you can be a world leader too? To be one, think like one. Humanity is facing some of the worst crises in its history – from the adverse effects of climate change to pandemics, terrorism, trade wars, cyber-attacks, and mass migrations. You can make the difference.
HOW ??
Learn … Collaborate … and Act !!
The Global Policy Diplomacy and Sustainability (GPODS) Fellowship brings some of the top leaders across the world to mentor the next generation of thinkers and doers who can work at the intersections of Public Policy, Diplomacy, and Sustainability.
This is your chance to be mentored by 40+ world leaders – each of whom bringing transformational knowledge and practical advice to put you on a path of meaningful change. As a GPODS Fellow, you will undergo various mentorship sessions, courses, and skill-building workshops.
You will be part of an international cohort of Fellows and work on real-life problems together as part of your capstone project (offered by leading organizations) and case study session. The community at GPODS is an opportunity to build coalitions and networks for a lifetime to make real change on the ground !!
