We are delighted to announce that applications for the International Leadership Programme 2016 are now open. With generous support from the Department of International Development, Etihad Airways, Inclusive Ventures Group, The Amersi Foundation, Kamal Exchange Company L.L.C, Prudence Foundation, Crescent Petroleum and others to be announced, the Summit will be split between Abu Dhabi and Dubai in November 2016 (exact dates will be confirmed shortly).

The ILP begins with a residential Summit in which international delegates come together to learn about leadership, but the ILP is about much more than two weeks’ training. Mosaic measures the success of each of its leadership programmes through the projects which delegates implement in their own communities. We urge all applicants to consider carefully whether they have the ambition and drive to commit fully to this year long programme and to dedicate yourself for the benefit of others.

If you feel ready to take your leadership skills to the next level and to benefit from this unique and fully funded opportunity please complete the online application form in full. The application form is designed to assess your leadership potential and your interest in and experience of the themes of the programme. If you are successful during the application stage you will then be invited to attend an interview in your country. The interview will be an opportunity to discuss your application in further detail and to assess your commitment to your own personal and professional development and the passion you have for enacting positive social change. Following the interview process, successful applicants will be invited to attend the ILP 2016 Summit in the United Arab Emirates.
