Strengthening a global network of young leaders committed to community development

 
General Information

The Renforcement d’un réseau mondial de jeunes leaders engagés pour le développement des communautés project is a four-year grant funded through the Queen Elizabeth II Scholarship Program. Its aim is the mobility of talent between Canada and other nations.

Through international experiences such as internships and research or study stays with partner organizations and exchanges within the fellowship community and its related networks, these young community builders will strengthen their leadership, their professional skills and their commitment to local and international community organizations in an interdisciplinary and multidimensional perspective.

For this project, the Université de Montréal, and more specifically the École de santé publique de l’Université de Montréal, the Observatoire de la Francophonie Économique and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences have identified three areas of intervention priority:

-           Economic growth;

-           The environment;

-           Governance.
