For a period of three months, each fellow will have the opportunity to build his or her leadership and organizational skills while contributing to the development of the World Youth Movement.
Hurford Youth Fellows facilitate discussion events; conduct research on youth-related topics such as, for example, civic education, the role of youth in policy development, and youth activities against corruption; develop online resources, take part in planning and implementing other activities of the World Youth Movement; and various other undertakings. Each fellow also makes at least one formal presentation of their work during their stay.
