I just applied for the 2014 Global Engagement Summit sharing my proposal for the project Inspire Bulgaria which I’m developing with Kaloyan Filipov and Chaya Koleva.
The Global Engagement Summit (GES) builds the capacity of the next generation of change-makers through our annual summit, yearlong programming, and staff curriculum. By identifying talented, young individuals, providing skills training and connecting driven students with innovative thought leaders, GES empowers them to produce responsible and sustainable solutions to shared global problems. In addition to tangible outcomes, resources, and opportunities, GES also strives to provide a forum for discussing critical issues and evaluating why we want to “do good well.” Through GES, students can connect in order to: share challenging ideas, explore the realms of social entrepreneurship and community development, and equip themselves with the tools needed to take their social ventures beyond good intentions. Above all, GES hopes to foster a greater sense of community among the world’s young people through partnerships in change, with a view toward a better tomorrow. GES 2014 will be held April 16th-20th.
The Deadline is December, 1st and the application process is open to Americans (including students studying in the US) and Internationals : )
