The programme aims to help participants around the world to develop skills for global citizenship and empower them to create a positive impact in their lives, communities and businesses around the world. In 2021 KBS partnered with 8 universities around the world to deliver the programme supported by a diverse range of guest speakers, influencers, and social shifters; the Global Citizenship Programme welcomed over 170 participants.
