Are you a driven young activist prepared to influence international policy, spearhead community-based projects, and interact with powerful figures from around the globe? From August 23–26, 2025, the HISA Youth Fellowship 2025 provides a life-changing opportunity at Rhodes House in the United Kingdom. Through high-level discussions on some of the most important global issues of our day, policy-making simulations, and cross-cultural cooperation, this immersion fellowship, hosted by the Headway Institute of Strategic Alliance (HISA), aims to develop future leaders.
Participants will examine important issues, including bolstering democratic institutions, promoting sustainability and climate adaptation, dealing with cybersecurity, misinformation, and digital diplomacy, and supporting social justice, gender equity, and refugee rights. Along with supporting peacebuilding and youth-led conflict, the fellowship also explores public health policy and post-pandemic resilience.
The HISA Youth Fellowship 2025 provides completely financed, partially subsidized, and self-paid opportunities to students and young people from various backgrounds. It is a rare opportunity to obtain practical experience in global government, leadership, and diplomacy.
