Deadline: March 5, 2023

Applications are open for the Managing Global Governance (MGG) Academy 2022 for Young Professionals. The MGG Academy is geared towards highly-qualified young professionals who work in a partner institution of the MGG network or in an institution that is interested in future cooperation.

The Managing Global Governance (MGG) Academy brings together young professionals from government institutions, think tanks and research institutions, civil society and the private sector in rising powers and Europe. The main objective of the course is to support and prepare future change-makers for a professional and personal life dedicated to sustainable development at home and in the world. Building trust, exchanging perspectives and developing a mutual understanding belong to the core assets of the Academy.

The MGG Academy is based on the premise that profound knowledge, leadership qualities as well as visionary action are of core importance for transformative change. The four-month course thus blends academic modules, modules on leadership development and applied project work.

Benefits

Participants

  • A global learning journey: Participants explore solutions for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and broaden their perspectives by learning from peers with other sectroal and national backgrounds.
  • A dialogue-oriented and interactive approach: The Academy combines a broad range of working methods, including practical experience and participatory approaches, training, lectures and discussions with experts, study trips and peer coaching.
  • A life-long network: MGG participants build up intense interpersonal contacts to their peers and have access to the MGG network of institutions.

Institutions

  • Staff qualification with a global perspective: MGG Alumni contribute an international network and a global perspective. They have developed their leadership competencies and possess a profound ability to address global governance issues in their institutions’ work.
  • Opportunities for new forms of cooperation on innovative ideas, concepts and projects.
  • Partnership in a vibrant global network of institutions from rising powers and Germany/ Europe contributing to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
