Young Leaders Visitors Program –
Connecting leaders for positive change
The Swedish Institute Young Leaders Visitors Program (YLVP) is an intercultural leadership program with focus on social media as a tool for positive change. The program invites young opinion-makers from Sweden and selected countries in the MENA region who are actively working for social change in their respective contexts.
YLVP is designed to give participants innovative tools to shape public opinion in cutting-edge media while strengthening their intercultural and leadership skills. During and after the program they will be part of an exclusive network that will boost creativity and support their personal and professional development, while also laying the platform for a more connected future.
The participants are visionaries who are in the position to make a difference and committed to positive change. They are young open-minded opinion-makers in Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, West Bank-Gaza, Yemen and Sweden who are actively working for democracy and human rights within the spheres of media, culture, society, business and politics: journalists, bloggers, artists, activists, project managers, youth party leaders, politicians, government civil servants, lawyers, teachers and researchers.
