What it is & Who Should Apply

The Youth Leadership Camp brings together the most driven young people from 120+ countries for three days of intensive learning, real-world challenges, and cross-cultural friendship.

Held across three days in Türkiye, this camp gathers dynamic delegates, emerging visionaries and seasoned global experts to cultivate core competencies in modern decision-making, diplomacy, and collective action. You'll work in international teams, hear from leaders who've actually done it and leave with a certificate, a portfolio piece and a network spanning six continents. No professional prior experience needed - just ambition and an open mind.
