Our Programs

We connect across cultures, continents, and backgrounds to build dynamic teams and programmes for our members around the world. We are constantly striving to bring in new voices, cultures and perspectives into our work.

Our Theory of Change

Our Theory of Change is inspired by the integral philosophy of Ken Wilber, who believes that there are four areas (quadrants) where progressive development can occur: Interior Individual, Exterior Individual, Interior Collective, and Exterior Collective. By participating in our programmes and projects, young people move along through each quadrant to create a well-rounded global citizen.
