What is the Alumni Programme?
Generation Global values every young person participating in the programme. If you have enjoyed being part of our global network we would like to invite you to continue your engagement with us. Every year we offer volunteering opportunities for young people who would like to further develop their knowledge and skills on digital dialogue to join our alumni programme.
Working closely with Generation Global's central team, the alumni contribute to enrich young people's experience on the Ultimate Dialogue Adventure, supporting them to use dialogue skills to navigate diversity and learn directly from their global peers.
Through this volunteer position alumni are able to benefit from training and gain experience in a global environment. Since 2016 more than 40 alumni successfully joined the network sharing best practices and helping young people engage in meaningful dialogue.
Successful applicants can be part of the Alumni programme from August to August of the following year.
