Future Leaders InnovAsian Programme 2020
  • March 21, 2020
  • Partially Funded

Future Leaders InnovAsian Programme is an online student club looking for enterprising young leaders like yourself! More than half of the world (50.5%) is under 30 years old. By definition, young people like yourselves will graduate school and become key drivers of the economy as consumers, workers, and entrepreneurs. Yet, oftentimes, it seems like society is ill-equipped to provide space and avenues for experimentation that will be necessary for us to design newer, better futures. Much of business is as usual even as the software is eating the world.

Think of FLIP as a yearlong, online-to-offline student club in charge of putting up workshops and hackathons locally as well as contributing to digital projects that will create a global impact. There is a role for everyone to play, whether you come from a technical or a non-technical background. At the end of your initial term, there will be opportunities to grow and scale your leadership at a country and international level as well.
