About the programme
The Global Solvers Accelerator is a peer-to-peer learning platform for 15-20 practitioners per cohort. Over ten months, participants combine online learning with an in-person Co-Lab, working on their own social impact projects and building leadership and global citizenship skills. The programme emphasises deep reflection and honest peer conversation rather than growth or scaling. Participants pay a programme fee of USD 900 only if selected, with scholarships of 20%, 50%, or 80% for those with proven need.
