Global-In Fellowship is an intensive 3-week youth project focusing on politics, diplomacy and entrepreneurship, with the aim of providing young leaders with the opportunity to explore international relations and enhance diplomatic skills. The project is open to 60 participants from 16 to 20 from Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Jordan, Moldova, Morocco, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
The program is based on the learning structure of “Learn-Apply-Innovate”: Throughout the 3 weeks, our participants gather knowledge, apply what they have learned and, then, create on the basis of the intelligence and skills they have gained.

During the first week, they hold workshops on Law, Social Media, Economics and Political Systems, as well as training sessions on Soft Skills & Rhetorics and Entrepreneurship. By participating in panel discussions, lectures and seminars, the participants gather the foundational knowledge that will provide the basis for their work and development in the upcoming weeks.
The second week consists of a simulation of the work of the United Nations. As a country’s representative, you will develop your rhetorical and negotiation skills and gain insights into international politics and debates. You will learn to discuss, debate, negotiate and reach compromises, while engaging in passionate discussions about today’s most pressing challenges.
The third week is a Crisis Simulation, where you will be forming newly established nation states and work towards creating your constitution, national identity and political structures. In an interactive environment, where the relationships between the different states will develop in real time, you will get to invest resources, create governmental infrastructure and establish international organizations. But: How, and with what system It is simply up to your imagination!
This year, the project will bring together a group of 16-20 year olds from 12 different countries; Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Jordan, Moldova, Morocco, Norway, Poland and Sweden.
Are you young and interested in international relations, politics or diplomacy? Would you describe yourself as open-minded and willing to get to know new cultures? Are you engaged in the civil society? Are you a leader in your community and are you looking to meet more leaders in the same age group?
If you can answer most of the questions with a definite ‘YES’, then you should apply for Global-In Fellowship! They offer unforgettable days with around 60 other young leaders from 12 countries in Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East.
