The Emerging Urban Leaders program takes place over 12 months. The first cohort contains 23 Fellows and the second cohort 32 Fellows.
The program consists of multiple elements:
Monthly Meetings
- 1 hour of discussion with an influential leader
- 1 hour of group discussion, peer-peer advice sharing, reflection, and project progress reports
Project Development
- Each Fellow undertakes a practical project over the course of their participation in the program. Project ideas were submitted as part of the application process
- Ongoing support to implement the projects is provided in the form of mentorship, peer advice, and regular goal setting and feedback sessions
Mentorship
- Each Fellow is assigned a mentor based (where possible) on their preferences, to support them implementing their project
- Mentor and mentee meet regularly over the course of the year-long program
Thought Leadership
- Fellows have the opportunity to submit articles to the ICLEI Cities with Nature Buzz monthly newsletter, SalzburgGlobal.org, and the Diplomatic Courier and present their work on the Futures Cities Podcast
