Global Youth Cohorts
​
The Global School Cohort Program, a key component of the Global Youth Leadership Development Program, connects small cohorts of upper secondary students from schools in the UK, Ukraine, Australia, and other countries around the world through the Unbroken Cities Network. Supported by One World Strong, the program fosters leadership, teamwork, and cross-cultural communication. Participating students engage in virtual meetings to discuss global challenges, explore leadership-themed topics, and collaborate on projects over a 10-week period. The focus is on helping students practice leadership skills, promote positive social action, and engage in meaningful projects that strengthen international ties. In doing so, they have opportunities to display leadership skills, build confidence, improve their English language skills, and contribute to international harmony.
