Future Thought Leaders

About Future Thought Leaders

Future Thought Leaders is a five-day intensitve residential programme bringing together 16-18 year olds with academics and industry leaders to think collaboratively about tomorrow’s global problems. It is timed to maximise the benefit to students applying for university entry from 2026 onwards.​ Learning and discussion will take place in workshop-style settings, with delegates hearing from leading experts before collaborating on practical tasks based on real-world scenarios. These workshops have been designed to help young people develop a thought-leader mindset and apply it to the challenges their generation will face. Each day will look at a cluster of issues grouped together under three key themes: society, economy, and humanity. The demanding academic programme will be broken up with social events and evening activities.
