The German Marshall Fund of the United States and the OCP Policy Center are organizing the 2014 Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program, a unique opportunity for rising leaders, taking place October 22-26, 2014, at the Palmeraie Hotels and Resorts in Marrakesh, Morocco. The program will precede and include The Atlantic Dialogues 2014.
Launched in 2012, The Atlantic Dialogues is emerging as a leading annual forum for decision-makers to discuss global issues and partnerships, with an emphasis on the Southern Atlantic and transatlantic relations beyond North-North lines. This high-level gathering is a unique opportunity for leaders from the four continents of the Atlantic to debate the changing dynamics across the wider basin and help shape the transatlantic agenda.
The 2014 Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program will bring together 50 rising leaders from around the Atlantic Basin. Over the two days of the program, sessions combine creative thinking, professional leadership training, and peer-to-peer learning. The emerging leaders will then be invited to participate in The Atlantic Dialogues conference. The 2014 Atlantic Dialogues Emerging Leaders Program will conclude with a debrief on October 26, 2014.
This call for applications is open to emerging leaders between the ages of 23 and 35, with a good command of English, who demonstrate leadership potential in their sector, are dedicated to strengthening ties across the Atlantic, and engage with and have an impact on the regional, transatlantic, and global agenda.
GMF will accept applications on a rolling basis until July 28, 2014.
