Following the profound experience shared with young people during the 2026 Hackathon<\/a><\/strong>, the second phase of the \u201cOne Humanity, One Planet: Synodal Leadership\u201d programme is now getting underway. It offers a six-month virtual training course that combines in-depth study and dialogue based on participants\u2019 diverse backgrounds, the exchange of projects and experiences, and the development of initiatives with local impact and global reach. <\/p>\n\n

It is aimed at people aged between 18 and 40 who have experience in political representation, public administration, social movements, political parties and advocacy; who are committed to social and political transformation or interested in strengthening their capacity for dialogue, cooperation and collective action; and who are willing to contribute both practically and intellectually throughout the programme. <\/p>\n\n

Lasting six months, delivered 100% online, completely free of charge with an estimated commitment of three hours per week, the programme aims to reach 500 young people this year.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cWe are living in a historical moment marked by deep geopolitical tensions, socio-environmental crises, increasing social fragmentation, and high levels of polarization,\u201d say the organisers in their introduction. \u201cThese challenges call upon us: they reveal the limits of traditional governance models and the urgent need for new forms of leadership capable of generating dialogue and activating processes of collective action to promote peace and unity. In this context, we have chosen a synodal style of leadership: a leadership based on listening, participation, shared responsibility, and the construction of shared solutions. If you believe that politics can be a space to regenerate relationships, promote the common good, and care for humanity and the planet, this call is for you. We invite you to become part of an international space for training and cocreation of political initiatives together with other young leaders from different regions of the world, in order to rethink governance in the face of today\u2019s challenges\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

The deadline for applications is Friday 19 June 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
