Following this preparation, you travel to the United States for a 10-day in-person training program in New York centered on vision planning, workshops, and global context building. Finally, you return home for a 10-month virtual project implementation phase, working closely alongside experienced alumni mentors who provide remote guidance, team building, and quarterly virtual hangouts.Deadline
