Call for applications – Young Leaders Visitors Program
Are you a young opinion-maker with a vision? Do you want to make a
change? Apply to a leadership program unlike any other - become part
of an exclusive network of young leaders through the Young Leaders
Visitors Program.
The Swedish Institute Young Leaders Visitors Program (YLVP) is an
intercultural leadership program focused on social media as a tool for
positive change. The program invites young opinion-makers from Sweden
and selected countries in the MENA region (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan,
Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, West Bank-Gaza and Yemen) who are
actively working for social change in their respective contexts. YLVP
is designed to give participants innovative tools to shape public
opinion in cutting-edge media while strengthening their intercultural
leadership skills. The first phase of the program will take place in
Sweden during two weeks in May. There will be two follow-ups, one in
the MENA region and one in Sweden.

Who can apply?
Opinion-makers between 20 and 35 years old from Algeria, Egypt,
Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, West Bank-Gaza, Yemen or
Sweden who are engaged in media, culture, society, business or
politics and are actively working for social change within their own
context, using media as a tool for shaping public opinion.
