Description

The flagship program of the Aspen Institute Romania for the last 6 years, the Young Leaders Program, has reached its 7th edition. We hope this year’s program will bring increased regional participation and create additional diversity and relevance for a growing Network of more than 120 Aspen Fellows, covering 12 countries. The Young Leaders Program gathers each year around 20 high-profile young leaders from the region with a clear two-fold goal: to promote and advance progressive leadership within society; and to develop the regional network, based on shared values and common interests. Participants are required to have a high level of English fluency, as it is the working language of the program.

The program consists of four modules in Romania and has the following structure:

  1. Module I: 15 – 21 April, 2013
  2. Module II: 10 – 16 June, 2013
  3. Module III: 16 – 22 September, 2013
  4. Module IV: One-day event in December 2013 (tbd)

Eligibility

The Program addresses people between the ages of 25 and 35 having achieved significant professional positions and accomplished results within their area of activity. Candidates should have demonstrated leadership potential, a record of initiative and entrepreneurship and a proven civic interest. We welcome candidates from: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine.

Fellowship

Aspen Institute Romania will cover tuition costs, accommodation and meals, leaving participants to only cover their transportation expenses to and from Romania.
