Humanitarian Affairs United Kingdom recognises the importance of nurturing creative thinkers and in grooming aspiring leaders. Our goal is for every delegate to experience activities that contribute to their holistic development and empower them to become an excellent global citizen. 

As leaders and managers in different fields- whether business, government, education, and non-profit organizations, there is a need to develop one’s ability to motivate and influence those in future working environments. At Humanitarian Affairs, we believe that effective leadership begins with a deep personal understanding. Our leadership training will explore the unique strengths you bring to your leadership role, and enhance your skills in working with others. 

You will grow as an individual and as a leader, able to maximise your potential and performance, irrespective of your field.

As a delegate, you will have the opportunity to either initiate a sustainable development project or lead a group of volunteers on a humanitarian mission or you may want to assist in the various groundbreaking initiatives formulated by other delegates.

Sharpen Your Understanding

To broaden the vision of young people, Humanitarian Affairs provides its delegates with the privileged opportunity to learn from these inspiring humanitarian speakers and life skills coaches through talks and interaction. These speakers give informative and motivational talks that challenge young leaders to do some soul searching and discover their passions, skills, and goals for the future. You will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to conduct a one-on-one dialogue with our renowned humanitarian speakers during the weeklong symposium. These dialogues are a mine gold for young people that are trying to make a positive impact on the world; their inspirational stories of endurance in the face of adversity and lost hope demonstrate the extraordinary strength of the human spirit. 

Beyond Service

Participants have the opportunity to put what they have learned into practice and dive "into the trenches" of sustainable development through a variety of humanitarian service projects. The symposium is all about changing the lives of communities in need; consequently, the learning journey program at the symposium gives participants an opportunity to interact with and have a firsthand experience of the lives of the disadvantaged in the community. During the learning journey, participants are exposed to the harsh realities that countless people face due to poverty, age, refugee status and so forth. Participants try changing these people’s lives by repairing old people’s homes, conducting cleaning exercises, providing clothes, and so forth. This experience allows you to walk in other people’s shoes and understand the world from a different perspective.
