São Paulo – The Wise Learners’ Voice program, of Qatar Foundation, opened its selection of students throughout the world, between ages 18 to 25, that are interested in participating in a global platform of debates and training in social entrepreneurship and education. Registrations can be made until March 31.
Those selected will take part in a series of online and on-site activities for a year, among them a meeting between November and December of this year in Doha, Qatar, and two program’s sessions, one from January 2 to 13, 2017, also in Doha, and another one from May 28 to June 10, 2016, in Spain. The Qatar Foundation covers all costs of the program, including airline tickets and lodging.
The proposal is to develop innovative solutions on education. The activities were planned as to offer participants the understanding of the main concepts and trends in education and to develop their leadership skills in the area.
