Youth Empowerment: The Wilson’s Place Program

Youth Empowerment: The Wilson’s Place Program –  The Wilson Center is pleased to announce a call for applications for its “Agents of Change Youth Fellowship,” an initiative of the Wilson Center’s Middle East Program and Environmental Change and Security Program.

Recognizing the significance of the MENA region when it comes to climate response and the potential for youth leadership in the region to shape a more sustainable, peaceful, and prosperous future for the world, the Wilson Center is launching an Agents of Change Youth Fellowship. It is the first professional fellowship program for emerging leaders seeking meaningful careers at the intersection of climate change and security.

The program for 2022-2023 will have three components:

Strengthening Analytic and Communications Skills: The fellowship will include capacity-building workshops in the areas of storytelling, environmental journalism/working with the media, working with policymakers and drafting policy briefs, and leadership skills.

Speaker Series: The fellowship program will include a speaker series in the form of private discussions featuring leading subject-matter experts from the public and private sectors as well as a range of policymakers from the UAE and the region. Through these discussions, fellows will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge research and how to effectively communicate its relevance to public policy and other spheres of influence.

The Wilson Center’s Middle East Program has over twenty years of experience analyzing U.S. interests in the MENA region and complex themes such as security, defense, gender, and economic development. The program published two landmark reports marking the establishment of two new permanent initiatives, the Middle East Women’s Initiative, and the Middle East and North Africa Workforce Development Initiative. Together these thematic areas focus on two key—yet underemphasized—areas of regional security: the development and empowerment of women, job creation, and increasing employment through inclusive growth and education.

For over 25 years, the Wilson Center’s Environmental Change and Security Program (ECSP) has blazed a path forward on closely linked issues such as environment, population, health, and development – as well as security and foreign policy. Its award-winning blog, New Security Beat, in-depth research, and short documentaries analyze global trends and share local stories. Throughout its history, ECSP’s work has emphasized the role that environment and demographic trends play in stability and economic growth. Through independent research and programming, ECSP experts have encouraged anticipatory and integrated thinking across the development, diplomacy, and defense sectors.
