  Was selected for the flagship Summer Research Program 2022 at the Youth Center for Research from a pool of hundreds applications from over 60 countries and only the top 5 per cent were invited to join this year's cohort.With 21st century expectations on one hand, along with the baggage of substandard current education systems and colonial institutional history (in some cases), provision of quality education requires attentions to various constituents. These constituting elements entail curriculum, pedagogy, teacher qualification, school environment, assessments, students’ readiness to learn and broader aspects of governance, conflicts, human geography, and international relations.In view of the pressing challenges facing education across all levels, policy makers need to consider more players to rework and re-configure their policy networks for effective policy making and execution. One such potential group is young advocates and change makers who need to be taken on board to understand educational crises and spearhead change for sustainable human progress.The year 2022 marks the 4th year of the International Summer Research Program. Along with the regular Summer Research Program activities that entail collaborative transitional research, panel talks, discussions, timed deliverables among others, this year also marks a formal transition of the YCR to engage with organizations on ground to advise their work through research.

Even when funding may be available, support and resources to develop the skills and capacity of these young leaders are often missing. Global Changemakers works to fill this gap - and the results are astounding. ​To date, we have trained thousands of young people in over 180+ countries through both online and in-person training. We have also provided grants to over 430+ youth-led projects which have had a combined impact on over 15 million people.
