It will take place at ALA in Johannesburg. The GSP off ers two sessions. Session I runs 2 July-20 July 2013; Session II runs 22 July-9 August 2013.
About GSP
Participants in this exciting leadership program practice leadership by working in social ventures in the Johannesburg community, learn from ‘fireside chats’ with prominent entrepreneurial leaders in South Africa, build a global network with other young leaders from around the world and discover the history, beauty and diversity of Africa.
