Who are we?

At the PAIDEIA LEADERSHIP ACADEMY, we offer bold new leadership training for young people who want to design their own journey for impactful leadership. In the context of complex planetary crises, the democratisation of technology and social media - the way we think about the future must adapt to the times we live in. Understanding the nature of system-wide disruption, perceiving signal from a noisy world, and incorporating intersectional viewpoints are essential tools for leaders in the 21st century.  

Built around the UN’s sustainable development goals and the pressing challenges of our time, this highly selective academy takes a novel approach to the traditional model of leadership training. We’re here to help you understand the chaos, navigate systems, and chart a pathway for your personalised impactful leadership journey.

Through a mix of interactive webinars, personal mentoring, and thought-provoking assignments, we’ll explore how to craft your own leadership narrative and plan for impact. These will work as fundamental assets for you to leverage in top global program applications, a room of potential investors, or even future change makers to join your movement. 

We will be diving into topics like:

• The context: The triple planetary crisis shaping our world.

• Signal from the noise: Identifying persistent trends and finding your personal “why”.

• The role of the system: Understanding the strengths and shortcomings of governance frameworks and UN strategy-making.  

• Positive disruption: Exploring how AI & technological innovation, novel systems and future cities, and building a better world for tomorrow

• Entrepreneurship for the future: Empowering ideas for a new era

By the end of the program, you won’t just understand the world—you’ll be able to materialise your vision for a better world.

This is leadership for the 21st century.
