To empower young, active global citizen-leaders who are engaged in the SDGs and may otherwise not have access to valuable educational opportunities, networking experiences, and peer-to-peer exchange, the Ban Ki-moon Centre has organized the Global Citizen Scholarships Program at the University of Bordeaux for the academic year 2022-2023.
The Ban Ki-moon Centre will select 15 young African global citizen leaders for the program who are passionate about taking action for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The selected scholars will receive a 500€ seed grant to support their project and will receive project management training and guidance throughout the project proposal and implementation process.
