The Global Solvers Accelerator 2023 has opened its application period. Emergent social change agents from all around the world are connected, given power, and transformed through the Global Solvers Accelerator.
In order to improve the social impact projects they are leading, develop collective leadership skills, and spark revolutionary change that breaks through boundaries of location and identity, the program engages participants via an eight-month project-based collaborative learning experience (SDGs).
Up to 20 selected participants will collaborate to improve and grow their significant community initiatives after being chosen from among hundreds of candidates from all around the world. The program gives Global Solvers a platform to maximize the effect of their social impact initiatives through deliberate peer learning, subject matter advice, and cutting-edge theme contributions.
