The Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program 2024 in Morocco is a fully-funded leadership initiative designed for emerging leaders to engage in meaningful and solution-driven discussions about regional and international issues. This program offers a platform to explore and collaborate on influential ideas, aiming to inspire, connect, and empower participants to bring significant changes within their communities and globally.
This Emerging Leaders Program, spearheaded by the Policy Center for the New South (PCNS), gathers innovative and motivated minds for comprehensive leadership training. Since its establishment, the institute has brought together researchers, published significant work, and established a collaborative network with notable partners and representatives from various parts of the world. This fully-funded conference for young professionals is part of PCNS’s series of events held throughout the year.
PCNS, a Moroccan think tank, strives to improve the social and economic conditions that hinder community development, particularly in Morocco and Africa. Since 2012, PCNS has hosted the Atlantic Dialogue Conference annually, engaging influential leaders from the public and private sectors in informal discussions on regional and cross-regional issues. These discussions promote dialogue-based, peaceful solutions to pressing challenges.
The international training program includes structured group conversations with decision-makers and thought leaders on key issues related to Atlantic development and cooperation. The Atlantic Young Professional Program, held two days before the conference, facilitates informal meetings with progressive community leaders and think tank representatives. This program aims to empower Emerging Leaders in their personal and professional journeys, fostering leadership growth. Through this initiative, it is hoped that collective wisdom and innovation can help communities thrive in today’s complex policy and business environment.
