“An international outlook is vital for future leaders of all countries to understand and overcome the challenges our changing world presents. Through Future Leaders Connect we will help a new generation to understand practical policy development by putting them in contact with the leaders of today and helping them to develop the skills and international contacts they need to make positive change.” Sir Ciarán Devane CEO British Council
“We are excited at the opportunity these young Kenyans now have to horn their policy ideas and to bring change to their country in the areas where they have expressed their passion. We believe the networking opportunities that will open up for them during their trip to the UK later in the year will enable them to showcase their skills, shine and network with their peers around the world and in the UK.” Jill Coates British Council Kenya Country Director
